Day of Reflection for Sacramental Marriage is a retreat day for couples preparing for the Sacrament of Marriage. A specially prepared volunteer team of married couples and a priest share their experiences and information with the intention of enabling couples to be more aware of the privileges and responsibilities of marriage.
Registration is 9:30 am, with the program beginning promptly at 10:00 am. It is important that everyone arrive by 9:30 am so the first session can begin on time. Lunch is provided. The program ends at 5:00 pm. Couples should plan to stay the entire day to complete this required retreat. The cost is $50.00.
The retreat is designed to be completed after the couple has done the initial consultation with their priest and when they are well into the Witness to Love program. The retreat should be completed at least 2 months prior to the wedding.
