Retrouvaille is a programme for couples who are having difficulties in their marriages.

The next Retrouvaille programme begins with a weekend from 13-16 October 2022. It will be held online using Zoom and we will be commencing the following programme with a face-to-face weekend from 24-26 February 2023 in Welwyn Garden City, Hertfordshire.

You may know of couples who really need help in their marital relationship. If so, please let them know about Retrouvaille.  The good news is that couples who attend the programme, where both really work at it, have, in the ministry’s experience, an 85% success rate even when they are separated or already divorced but want to try again.

Retrouvaille is a Catholic programme but is open to married couples of any faith, or none. It is offered as a gift from the Catholic Church to any married couple who wishes to heal the difficulties they are experiencing in their marriage.

The programme is presented by trained volunteers who themselves have experienced the programme and want to share the benefits they have experienced first-hand in their own relationships. The presenting team on the weekend also includes a priest who has experienced the programme and believes that it has something to offer couples in difficulties. All priests are invited to come and experience the programme for themselves for free.

Please help us to help couples in distress or crisis by publicising this programme.
