Married Couples' Retreat Day

Worldwide Marriage Encounter is excited to announce a transformative event titled "God Chose You For Me." - a seven-hour experience designed to deepen the spiritual connection between married couples. St. Elizabeth Parish in Ludlow will be hosting this one-day experience at their parish Pastoral Center on Saturday, December 6, 8:30am-3:30pm. This unique program will be guided by Fr. Larry Brault (Worcester Diocese), a married couple, and a surviving marital spouse. Couples will be guided in creating a personal couple prayer developed progressively through the day. This prayer will then serve as a daily spiritual practice, reinforcing the spiritual bond. The experience is about the profound truth that married couples become an actual manifestation of God's love and Christ's presence in this world, through the way they love one another. Donation per couple is $100 - with refreshments and lunch included. Register online no later than November 30 at http://wwmectw.org/enrichment.php. For more info contact Bob & Marie Lussier at (413) 224-1145 or R-M-Lussier@charter.net
