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.
Retrouvaille is a three-stage program. . For program and fee information, please contact the Office of Family Life Ministries at 973-497-4327. Retrouvaille can be a lifeline of hope and healing for struggling marriages.
