This retreat is designed specifically to help couples prepare for the sacrament of marriage following a death of a spouse or an annulment. You will hear stories from couples who have experienced the loss of a spouse, the pain of a civil divorce, the process of seeking an annulment, and the challenge of raising children in a blended family.

On the GENESIS retreat, also known as Pre-Cana, you will deepen your relationship with Jesus Christ and one another as we unpack the meaning of the questions of consent that you will say “yes” to on your wedding day.

You only need ONE ticket per couple!
