Rediscover Your Marriage–
Retrouvaille (pronounced retro-vi with a
long i) simply means 'rediscovery'. The
program offers the chance to rediscover
yourself, your spouse, and a loving relationship in your marriage. 10's of 1000's
headed for divorce have successfully
saved their marriages by attending.
Retrouvaille is a not spiritual retreat, not
a sensitivity group, not a seminar, not a
social gathering. For confidential information about or to register for the program beginning with a weekend on May
1-3 call 831-479-1260 or email: [email protected] or visit the web
site at www.HelpOurMarriage.com
We welcome all new
parish members.
Please register if you
have not
already done so.
