Formation Event for Couples

Support the vocation of marriage with a formation event for couples. This gathering offers inspiration and practical wisdom for dating, engaged, or married couples, emphasizing marriage as a path to holiness. Topics like intentional discernment, spiritual intimacy, and raising holy children deepen couples’ commitment to their vocation.

These events show that holy marriages foster vocations, as faithful couples raise children open to God’s call. As Saint John Paul II said, “Love that leads to marriage is a gift from God.” A formation event equips couples to live this gift, strengthening their families and the Church.

Host a talk or workshop to encourage couples to center their marriage on Christ. These moments of reflection and community inspire lifelong love and service.
