Married Couples RetreatMarried Couples Retreat
Partners in Faith & Family
February 17-19
“…and the two shall become one flesh.” (Ephesians 5:31) Married couples are a gift for each other and for the Church. As lifelong partners in marriage, we share life, faith and family and, in this sharing, we celebrate and recognize the wonder of God’s great gift of love. We seldom have the time and opportunity to refresh, renew, and celebrate the gift that our spouse is for us and that we are for each other.
Come and spend some quiet time away from the busyness of life to rediscover the gifts that we are to each other as a married couple. Come celebrate being partners in faith and family through reflection, prayer, and the simple pleasure of being with each other.
Retreat Directors Deacon Michael and Mary Frances Berstene. Click here for more information.

Message from Father Rick
February 2012
Dear friends,
The penitential and holy season of Lent will begin this year during the month of February.
The blackened foreheads of Ash Wednesday are a visible sign to the world of our commitment to Christ and our recognition of His ultimate sacrifice for humanity. It is a time in our Church calendar where we are asked to slow down, reflect , sacrifice, pray and be generous to those in need. Authentic fidelity is a tall order, certainly, but is one that is meant to help us be who we were created to be.
He came so we could know salvation – he suffered so that we could be free, and he died so that we could have life. Christ’s incredible love and sacrifice should inspire us to jump into Lent with true conviction and humility.
I hope your Lenten journey is transforming. Let’s continue praying for each other.
With peace,
Fr. Rick
