Overview

Mission

Retrouvaille is a volunteer marriage ministry for the purposes of roman catholic instruction to alleviate marriage breakdown, improve spiritual development and to understand and live the sacrament of marriage. Retrouvaille begins with a weekend experience presented by three volunteer couples and a priest. The program continues with six post-weekend sessions again presented by volunteer couples, and concludes with an ongoing support group called c.o.r.e., continue our retrouvaille experience. Material costs incurred to put on the program are covered by blank envelope donations. No one is turned away for a lack of ability to pay. We have no other planned activities other than to continue to present the program to hurting couples in order to alleviate the breakdown of marriage.
