GETTING MARRIED IN THE CATHOLIC CHURCH

MARRYING AT HOLY SPIRIT

MARRIAGE PREPARATION

SPONSOR COUPLE PROGRAM

MARRIAGE ENRICHMENT - A monthly date night (with childcare provided) where couples of all ages enjoy fun together, a potluck, videos and discussion to grow your marriage, and making friends.  Throughout fall 2018 and spring 2019, Marriage Enrichment will be watching and discussing the life-changing video series Love and Respect.  Click here for dates, times, and more info.



THE CHOICE WINE: 7 STEPS TO A SUPERABUNDANT MARRIAGE - A nine-session Catholic video and discussion series, offered periodically here at Holy Spirit, that places married and engaged couples on a path to virtually divorce-proof their marriages, truly encounter the superabundant love and of God and learn how to share that love with others, and experience a taste of paradise in their families.  



WORLDWIDE MARRIAGE ENCOUNTER - Designed to give married couples the opportunity to examine their lives together through a weekend experience designed to strengthen communication and intimacy skills in marriage and to better understand God's plan for marriage. Worldwide Marriage Encounter weekends are held offsite.  It's not a retreat, marriage clinic, group sensitivity, or a substitute for counseling. It's a unique approach aimed at revitalizing marriage.

Worldwide Marriage Encounter's mission of renewal in the Church and change in the world is to assist couples to live fully intimate and responsible relationships by providing them with a Catholic ''experience'' and ongoing community support for such a lifestyle. Both parties in the marriage do not have to be Catholic to attend a weekend. Weekends are offered in several other religious denominations as well.  For more information, go to www.dfwme.org/.




VALENTINE'S CELEBRATION - Every February we celebrate Valentine's and World Marriage Day with a dinner and dance.




PARISH ANNIVERSARY DINNER - Once a year we honor all parish couples celebrating milestone anniversaries: 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50, and every anniversary beyond 50 with a special banquet!
