Priest Encounter Weekend
A WEEKEND OF DISCOVERY…
A LIFETIME OF LOVING SERVICE…
Your priesthood is important to you and the church.
Worldwide Marriage Encounter is about renewing the Sacraments of Priesthood and Matrimony.
The Marriage Enrichment Weekend exists to deepen and enrich the two sacraments.
Would you like…
• deeper joy and fulfilment in your ministry?
• To become closer to Christ and his people?
• To learn with married couples how to witness to each other?
• A weekend away with couples and with Christ?
• A weekend away from the pressures of parish administration?
Then a Marriage Enrichment Weekend could be just for you.
A Marriage Enrichment Weekend
…is for all priests and couples… no matter how long or short a time they have been ordained or married.
…offers a way of enriching your experience of living out your sacrament of Priesthood.
…is a time to get in touch with your joys, hopes, disappointments and dreams and to rediscover the romance and enthusiasm for priesthood.
…is not a retreat counselling or therapy.
…is a unique way for you to revitalise your priesthood away from the distractions, tensions and routine of everyday life.
…is open to priests in parishes or in religious communities who want to renew the relationship they have with their community.
Why Priests?
Weekends are intended for priests who desire to grow and deepen their awareness of being Catholic priests whose priesthood is lived out in relationship with their people or community.
A Marriage Enrichment Weekend is led by a priest and married couples who share their own experience of living out their respective sacraments. It offers a unique opportunity for the enrichment of the priests and married couples who participate.
Please note that apart from the presenting team sharing their own experience of living out their vocation, there is no group or open sharing on a Marriage Enrichment Weekend.
Weekends are held a number of venues throughout Ireland and are listed under Book a Weekend on the website.
