Worldwide Marriage Encounter Weekends are held in retreat centers, hotels and parishes.  The rooms are private and fully air conditioned with private baths. 

We suggest you bring casual clothing.  It's also good to toss in a jacket as the conference room can be cool to some people. You might also want to pack an umbrella or two.  

The weekend presentations begin promptly at 8:00 pm on Friday, so we ask that you check in and get settled into your room no later than 7:30 pm on Friday.  We suggest you eat dinner before arriving on Friday.  

The weekend ends around 4 pm on Sunday.

Yes, meals will be provided on your weekend:

Saturday breakfast, lunch and dinner and Sunday breakfast and lunch.   We eat as a group.  Please arrive on Friday having eaten.  There is no meal on Friday evening.

A non-refundable fee (between $100 and $200, varies by location) is required to confirm your application.  In addition, you will be asked to consider making a "free will" donation on the weekend.

No couple or priest is ever denied the chance to renew their marriage because they are facing financial difficulties. This concern should not influence your decision to attend a Marriage Encounter Weekend. 

All contributions made on or in connection with the Marriage Encounter weekend are confidential. 

There is limited capacity, so early applications are encouraged and appreciated.
