The Engaged Encounter Weekend offers couples a unique
opportunity to look at their commitment to each other in a
deeper way as they prepare for marriage. It gives them the
opportunity to focus exclusively on each other for 44 hours
in peaceful surroundings, free from the pressure and
distractions of the outside world.
Though Catholic in origin, this experience is open to any
engaged couple wanting to prepare for a deeper, more
meaningful life together. The Weekend is an in-depth,
private, personal, marriage preparation experience within
the context of Catholic faith and values. Learn More.
We had a few spots open up for our February 3rd weekend at Our Lady of the Holy Spirit Center, and there's still a few spots left for our March 23rd weekend! For details on all our 2012 weekends, visit the registration page.
