Event Details
The Heart to Heart Weekend Retreat for the Engaged is one of the requirements for engaged couples preparing for Marriage in the Diocese of Rapid City. The retreat is designed to provide couples with an opportunity to deepen your relationship with one another and with God through a series of talks, activities, prayer experiences and quiet time for reflection. We ask you to bring an attitude of eagerness and openness to talk with your beloved, to pray to God, and to quietly listen to your heart. This is a chance to step away from the ordinary–from work, from recreation and from distractions. It is a time for you to relax and to spend quiet time with each other and with God.
The retreat begins with dinner at 6pm on Friday and concludes after lunch on Sunday. You’re welcome to check-in anytime between 5pm and 6pm. Meals are provided from Friday dinner through Sunday lunch.

Event Details
We have two BeFriender Training Retreats scheduled this Summer and Fall. This training provides people with the sorely needed active listening skills, enabling them to offer a caring connection to those in need of a listening presence.
- This training can enhance current ministries such as homebound, or St. Vincent de Paul, youth ministry, RCIA facilitators or sponsors, parish staff, etc.
- BeFrienders are ideal ministers in parishes that are too small to be able to support a separate Separated & Divorced, Bereavement, or other healing ministries.
- Participants will also be eligible to serve as Zoom BeFrienders for a Diocesan Ministry, which will eventually be open to anyone in the diocese.
- Anyone can register.
- There is a nominal fee for each retreat which can easily be waived if financial need is at all a concern.
