WORLDWIDE MARRIAGE ENCOUNTER WEEKENDS
19 to 21 August and 11 to 13 November, St Paul’s Missionary College, Nortons Lane, Wantirna South.
Invest in your most precious asset, your marriage. A beautiful opportunity to rekindle the closeness, intimacy, love and romance that brought you together. Recharge your relationship batteries and explore the divine nature of your marriage, allowing you both to share your feelings, hopes and dreams with each other in ways that normal, daily living tends to inhibit. There is no group sharing. A priest will be present during the weekend, which is based around Catholic values, but couples of all faiths are welcome. Commences 7pm on the Friday; ends 5pm on the Sunday. Accommodation and all meals provided.
Details: Marianne and Marcel on 9733 0997 or vicbookings@wwme.org.au or www.wwme.org.au
Cost: Application fee $55 plus secret donation (within your means) to cover the expenses of accommodation, food and materials for the weekend. Don’t stay home because you aren’t sure you can afford it!
