ADA26: Strengthening Our Families
This year, the Office of Marriage and Family Life launched several marriage enrichment initiatives to provide support to families beyond the usual marriage preparation programs. A full-day workshop helped couples clarify their unique family mission, while a new date night series was launched with a focus on strengthening communication and drawing inspiration from the lives of Saints who were married.
“The After Cana Date Nights have been a great opportunity for us to have a night once a month focused on intentionally growing closer in our marriage. The time spent together, and the material covered have helped us pursue our vocation more intentionally. I’m so thankful for the marriage enrichment activities the diocese has been doing!”
