Engaged Couples Retreat
 What is It?
-
A day to forget about hectic wedding plans
and
concentrate on marriage plans.
-
An opportunity to be with married couples,
reflect together as a couple and talk with
other engaged couples about the sacrament of marriage.
Why Attend?
-
To gain insights and
better appreciation
of self and intended partner.
-
To better understand what the covenant of
sacramental marriage means.
-
This is one option of marriage preparation
offered by the Diocese of Nashville; the couples must still meet with the Priest or
Deacon in their parish.
