About the Retreat...


At particular points in Christian history, God has granted a special grace for humanity - giving us "what we need precisely when we need it".

With the great challenges facing Catholic marriages today, the revolutionary teachings known as the "Theology of the Body" are fueling a renewal in Catholic marriages perhaps unlike anything the Church has seen before. Yet, the challenges to modern marriages are very real: from the rapid rise of divorce over the past 40 years to the perils of pornography on relationships to the re-definition of marriage that is taking place in legislatures across the country.

In this extraordinary full-day seminar for married couples, acclaimed Catholic author and "Theology of the Body" expert Christopher West will take you "back to the beginning" - both to God's original plan for marriage and to the magic and mystery you and your spouse experienced when you first met and fell in love. He will also lead you to the "new wine" Christ poured out at the wedding feast of Cana and Calvary.

Through a deries of inspirational talks, interaction with participants and private time for you and your spouse, you will come away from this seminar with a renewed understanding of the very meaning and purpose of your life - and how you can achieve greatness in and through your marriage.
