| Retrouvaille | Retrouvaille ("Rediscovery") is a program of the Catholic
Church designed to provide practical help and support to married couples
in difficult or painful relationships. It is also proven helpful to couples who
have become separated or divorced. Retrouvaille is being offered within
the Archdiocese of Newark by the Office of
Family Life Ministries. The program attempts to provide very practical assistance
to couples who have made the decision to "work" at restoring their marriages.
Couples are helped to recognize the need for God in all aspects of their healing
and forgiveness. It is imperative, however, that both parties share the desire
to improve the relationship.
The program offered by the Office of Family Life Ministries of the Archdiocese of Newark, begins with a weekend experience on March 20-22. For program and fee information, please contact the Office of Life Ministries at 973-497-4327. RETROUVAILLE is a lifeline of hope and healng. |
