What is an Engaged Encounter Retreat?
Engaged Encounter is an investment in the future – a weekend experience in which an atmosphere is created that enables each couple to concentrate exclusively on one another while free of the pressures and interruptions of daily life. This Weekend is not a recreational retreat. It is a program designed to give each couple an opportunity to discuss honestly with their fiancé, in a face-to-face manner, their strengths and weaknesses, desires, ambitions, goals, their attitudes about money, sex, family, their role in the Church and in society.
