Marriage Retreat
Our Marriage Retreat this year will be Feb 6-8, 2026 at Grand Coteau Retreat Center! We will focus on the Discernment of Spirits in Marriage by drawing from the wisdom of St. Ignatius and applying his advice to the practicalities of marriage and family life.
The retreat will begin at 4pm on Friday and end with 10am Mass on Sunday. Although couples will be encouraged to “unplug”, they will be allowed to keep their phones so that they can stay in touch with their babysitters/etc. This is a great time for personal prayer, quality time with your spouse, and community with other married couples. Cost is $460.
