As you plan your wedding take a weekend for yourselves to plan your marriage at the scenic Our Lady of Thornwood Retreat Center. Our day program is given by qualified professionals, priests, therapists and volunteer lay couples. It extends over one weekend to provide each couple with a reflective and in-depth preparation for a joyful marriage and for love that not only lasts but grows stronger year after year.
Groups are kept small to foster intimacy, lively discussion and personal attention. A Legionary of Christ priest oversees the program and gives important conferences on the sacrament of marriage and the nature of marital love. He also attends many of the sessions with the couples to encourage dialogue and to open opportunities for counseling, spiritual direction and confession.
The program will include the following:
| • | Get-acquainted social hour | • | Discussions with married couples |
| • | Communication workshop | • | Principal-centered finance |
| • | Opportunity for confession | • | Our Story - a personal testimony |
| • | Eucharistic Celebration | • | How to love your husband/wife |
| • | Sacramentality of marriage | • | Natural family planning overview |
| • | FOCCUS™ premarital inventory | • | Meals & snacks provided |
