Couples need to carve time out of their busy lives for each other.  Worldwide Marriage Encounter weekends are for that purpose.  They give couples time to focus on each other and deepen their communication.  After the Encounter, couples often return to their life and families refreshed with renewed commitment to each other.

Previewing the Sunday and Holy Day readings can help us get more out of Mass!  Our diocese provides us with many ideas to engage the senses in The Family Zone.  Additionally, two, free online sources for this are:  Encountering the Word (for adults) and Holy Heroes Mass Prep (for children).  When you come to Mass, look in the bookshelf for new titles to keep your little ones (2-7 yrs) focused on the Mass/our relationship with the Heavenly Host.  (Please return to the bookshelf after use.)
