Marriage Prep retreat Updates due to Corona VirusThe retreat facility at the Tracy Center is now closed due to the Corona Virus.
The Office of Marriage and Family Life will now offer the “Called To Love” retreat for engaged couples in an on-line format beginning with the July 24-26 2020 weekend. Couples who register for this retreat will take part in a “real time” retreat experience with other engaged couples from the convenience of their homes using Zoom. The retreat will consist of brief presentations by the facilitator couples, exercises for the engaged couples to complete, then opportunities for sharing their experiences and insights with the other participants. Couples participating in this on-line format will obviously need a computer with a good internet connection and with camera and microphone capabilities. The schedule for the retreat includes an opening session from 7 to 9 PM on Friday night, a full day schedule on Saturday from 9 AM to 5 PM and a morning session on Sunday morning from 9 AM to 11 AM followed by a live-streamed Mass at 11 AM. The cost for the retreat will be $100 per couple. For Registration information please review the next column. Office of Marriage and Family Life (225) 242-0323.
