Strengthen Your Marriage

The Stations of the Cross for Couples
Friday, March 26
7 PM
Registration Required

Sign-Up Today

The Catholic Family Services Office and Worldwide Marriage Encounter are sponsoring a virtual Stations of the Cross for Couples on Friday, March 26 at 7 P.M. Join us as we accompany Jesus on His way to Calvary in praying the stations together. The everyday struggles couples face in their relationships can, at times, be a heavy cross to carry, but when we journey with Jesus to Calvary as a couple, we find hope and strength to enrich our relationships. We all need images of hope in living out our vocation to married life, and Jesus offers us those images in His passion. The stations will be led by two married couples. Each will offer a brief reflection and insight on how we can see our relationship with our spouse mirrored in Jesus. Registration is required. Call Mary-Jo McLaughlin, at 860-848-2237, Ext 312 or email mmclaughlin@norwichdiocese.net

A link will be sent to you prior to the event.

Couples Grow in Holiness by the Way They Love

The late Pope Francis was a man of great humility and compassion. No doubt he is one of the holiest men of our times. Yet he would be quick to assert that holiness is something every person should work toward and that, with the grace of God, all can grow into it.

We are frequently tempted to think that holiness is only for those who can withdraw from ordinary affairs to spe...
