Dear TCR Community Members -

We are up to EIGHT (8) couples signed up for the July 18-20, 2025 Weekend!

We still could use YOUR help in spreading the word about how Retrouvaille helps couples in hurting marriages.

Please contact your local parish pastor and send them the link below about Retrouvaille and help we provide to couples looking to strengthen their marriage. 

Share with a friend or co-worker who may be having marriage issues.

Help us fill our July Weekend!

New Marketing Materials
As you drive around town, don't be surprised if you start seeing some of our new marketing boards either on power/telephone poles or on ground stakes.

We are looking for volunteers who would be willing to ask their pastor if Retrouvaille could put up a sign at your parish.  If interested, please let us know!
Is a Friend or Relative Struggling with a Troubled Marriage?

Share the value of Retrouvaille and encourage them to prayerfully consider registering for one of the upcoming 2025 weekends.

They may not know about the lifeline unless YOU share the hope.

Digging Deeper:
The Path to Forgiveness
September 12-14, 2025
Christ the King Retreat Center, Buffalo, MN

When it comes to your marriage...
Are you struggling with FORGIVENESS issues?
Are you stuck in the pain or anger of the past?
Do you feel entitled in your anger?

“Holding onto anger is like drinking poison expecting the other person to die” --Buddha

How do we let it go? 

Step by baby step. Making a choice in the moment. 

Join us as we work on digging deeper into forgiveness and how to let it go so your marriage can thrive.

This weekend is an opportunity to 'go-deeper' on Retrouvaille concepts while giving you time to focus on a specific area in your relationship where you need more growth and healing.

Please prayerfully consider joining us as we deepen the strength of our marriages.

Presenters will be Mike & Ann Cerney.

Early Bird Registration: $495/couple if registered before August 15, 2025.

Patron Saint of Retrouvaille - St. Joseph

O blessed Joseph, faithful guardian of my Redeemer, Jesus Christ, protector of thy chaste spouse, the virgin Mother of God, I choose thee this day to be my special patron and advocate and I firmly resolve to honor thee all the days of my life. Therefore I humbly beseech thee to receive me as thy client, to instruct me in every doubt, to comfort me in every affliction, to obtain for me and for all the knowledge and love of the Heart of Jesus, and finally to defend and protect me at the hour of my death. Amen

'I know by experience, ' says St. Teresa of Avila, 'that the glorious St. Joseph assists us generally in all necessities. I never asked him for anything which he did not obtain for me.
