“For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother, and shall be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one.”
One of the most beautiful and yet difficult things in life is that of blending two lives into one this sacrament of marriage. Our Metropolis continues to provide Marriage Preparation Seminars which are offered in six locations throughout New England.
This four-hour marriage preparation course is offered at the Metropolis Center 8 times each year. The program has been developed and expanded to include instruction, couples activities, and group discussion on the nature of marriage, the struggles along the way, and strategies for preparing for this journey. Although many couples openly report that they are skeptical about spending a half day on their preparation for marriage, by the end of the semester, nearly all of them have reported learning a lot about marriage and appreciating the time spent as couples discussing the issues they will encounter once married. Most of the couples are Inter-faith, and many overwhelmed with the logistics of planning a wedding. In the midst of the pressures on their time, many would not take the time to talk about issues related to their marriage if it were not a requirement of our Metropolis. Please click on the websites for more information.

Theme: “Does the Church have any Rules?”
Speaker: Fr. Patrick Viscuso
Religion is sometimes viewed as a private affair. The notion of being forced to follow a set of rules in one’s faith is a concept foreign to many Americans. Some even think that God is best found outside of “organized religion.” In our retreat, we will explore the Church’s canons and their meaning for today

With the blessing of His Grace Bishop Anthony, we are very excited to announce the 2nd Annual Midwest Young Adult Retreat to be held at the Maranatha Retreat Center in Muskegon, MI, on beautiful Lake Michigan. This year, we welcome Fr. Michael Nasser, the Pastor of Holy Apostles Mission in Bowling Green, KY, as our guest speaker for the weekend. Many of our young people remember him for his many years of service as the former Camp Director at the Antiochian Village and his mission work at Project Mexico. Fr. Michael is a dynamic speaker, whose talks will surely challenge and inspire us in the faith.
Maranatha is a beautiful retreat center with hotel-style accommodations, and is right on the lake. Lodging, meals, and the retreat will all take place at the retreat center. We hope to build on the success of last year’s Young Adult Retreat which was held in Livonia, MI, and was attended by 70 Young Adults from throughout our Diocese.
Please view the attached flyer (2 pages) and bulletin insert for more details about the weekend, and contact us if you have any questions. I ask that you please share this information with the Young Adults of your parish. The retreat is open to all college age, young professionals, and young adults (ages 18-40).
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact one of the committee members listed on the registration form.
