Register by Feb. 1: Marriage Enrichment Celebrates the Joy of Love

For Valentine’s Day this year, give your spouse the gift of your time and re-energize your marriage by attending a virtual marriage enrichment entitled The Joy of Love  from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturday, Feb. 12.

This enrichment will coincide with National Marriage Week, celebrated Feb. 7-14, and its theme “Marriage: Called to the Joy of Love.” Celebrate the joy of your love by focusing on the most important person in your life – your spouse.

The enrichment is based on Chapter 4 of Pope Francis’ Amoris Laetitia: The Joy of Love and will feature four talks by four couples about Daily Love, Conjugal Love, Passionate Love and Transformation of Love. It will deepen your faith with practical insights from Pope Francis’ wisdom on marriage and family life. 

This enrichment is for married couples of all ages and years married. It takes place online and requires participants to have an internet connection. There is a $15 fee that covers workbooks for each couple. Registration and payment are due by Feb. 1. 

To register, send your names, address, telephone number, e-mail address and check made payable to Annual Catholic Appeal to Mary-Jo McLaughlin, Catholic Family Services, 199 Broadway, Norwich, CT 06360, or call her at 860-848-2237, Ext. 312 or email her at mmclaughlin@norwichdiocese.net.

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. Holiness Is for Everyone In his Apostolic Exhortation Gaudete et Exsultate (Rejoice and Be Glad), Pope Francis wrote: “To be holy does not require being a bishop, a priest or a religious. We are frequently tempted to think that holiness is only for those who can withdraw from ordinary affairs to spe...
