Restore Your Marriage
A pay-what-you-can-afford, blank-envelope donation program for couples with serious marriage problems such as disillusionment, boredom, anger, separation and/or who have experienced affairs, or other problems which threaten the marriage bond.
Trained volunteer couples who have "been to the brink" and a priest teach others how to heal and renew their marriages and make them stronger than ever. This three-phase program teaches communication techniques and works on forgiveness, healing, and restoration of trust, beginning with a weekend away followed by 12 follow-up meetings over three months, followed by monthly support meetings.
These are not spiritual retreats, sensitivity groups, seminars, or social gatherings – there are no mental health professionals involved and couples do not have to share or say anything in front of anyone else. Couples discuss the given topics and practice their learned skills in privacy. The program is also open to secular, non-faith, and non-believing couples. Registration is essential.

What couples have to say about Retrouvaille...
“We came to Retrouvaille thinking nothing would work, but it was the first time we really faced our problem as a couple and began to work on our marriage together. We have been given another chance as well as a deeper and clearer insight into human love.”
“I remember many things before Retrouvaille. The Magic had disappeared, there was pain, anger and frustration that filled our lives. After the program, I was afraid that we would lose what we had gained, but the fear soon disappeared and I knew we would make a rediscovery every day for the rest of our lives.”
“Retrouvaille hasn’t eliminated our problems or concerns, but has given us the tools to work with. It has given us a better understanding of each other and the maturity to talk things out instead of fighting.”
