Rediscover, Rebuild, Renew Your Marriage in 2026 with the Gift of Retrouvaille

Marriage is one of life’s greatest blessings, yet even the strongest relationships can face seasons of struggle. If you and your spouse find yourselves feeling distant, weighed down by miscommunication, or simply longing for a deeper connection, Retrouvaille may be the answer.

 

The very word Retrouvaille means rediscovery. For thousands of couples, it has been the turning point where pain gave way to healing, and brokenness blossomed into renewed love. With more than 100,000 marriages rebuilt, the program continues to offer hope, encouragement, and practical tools to couples worldwide.

 

What to Expect

Retrouvaille is not a retreat, seminar, or counseling session— it is a lifeline. Guided by a caring team who have walked this path themselves, you’ll learn:

New ways to communicate with openness and respect

How to rebuild trust, even when it feels lost

Practical strategies for navigating conflict with love and understanding

 

This transformative weekend is just the beginning of a journey that challenges, inspires, and equips couples to create the best possible marriage.

The Week That Changed the World: Stories to Lead You Through Holy Week
The Week that Changed the World I’ll admit it, I look forward to Holy Week even more than Christmas. Every year, Palm Sunday feels like the Church is saying, “Come in close. Pay attention.” We start with palms, procession, and Hosanna—remembering the Lord’s entrance into Jerusalem—and then, almost immediately, we hear the Passion. That shift isn’t jarring by accident.
