Marriage Ministry: On the Road

"On the Road” serves married couples through events geared at helping couples deepen their understanding of a Catholic vision for marriage, provide skills to help them navigate the challenges of daily life, and see the many ways God’s grace is present within them through their sacrament. We seek to support couples on whatever point of the journey they are on, so they know that they do not have to walk the road alone.

Navigating Us:  A Marriage Retreat

at St. Mark, by St. Mark

When: June 26–28

Where: St. Mark

Marriage is not something most people are ever really taught how to do. And yet, it shapes nearly every part of life.

This June, St. Mark is hosting Navigating Us, a weekend marriage retreat designed for couples in every stage of marriage.

This is not a retreat just for couples in crisis. It is for any couple who wants to grow, strengthen their relationship, and be more intentional about the life they are building together.

While all couples are welcome, this retreat is especially valuable in the early years of marriage.

The first several years are often the most formative and, at times, the most challenging. Building strong habits early can make a lasting difference.

Throughout the weekend, couples will gain simple, practical tools to communicate better, handle conflict in a healthy way, and better understand one another.

The focus is not on theory, but on real skills that can be put into practice right away.

Most importantly, this is a retreat for St. Mark couples.

It is an opportunity to step away from the pace of daily life, invest in your marriage, and grow alongside other couples in our parish community.

Childcare will be available.

Registration required.

Come invest in the marriage you already have.
