Struggling in your Marriage?

Retrouvaille is a French word meaning rediscovery. The program offers tools for couples in struggling or deeply strained marriages to rediscover a loving marital relationship. The main emphasis of the program is on communication in marriage between husband and wife. It will give you the opportunity to rediscover each other and to examine your lives together in a new and positive way.  For more info visit www.helpourmarriage.org


AnnulmentIf your marriage ended in civil divorce, you may want to seek an annulment, or a determination from the Church that the bonds of Marriage between husband and wife never formed and that particular Marriage covenant and the promises made in the vows were not binding. Before pursuing a new relationship, it is suggested that you seek information on an Annulment to avoid committing the sin of adultery. Annulments are sensitive matters often surround by pain, hurt, and emotion. All charity and pastoral care is practiced in working with those seeking an Annulment. Please visit the Diocese of Harrisburg website or contact Fr. Ken to discuss your particular situation.
