Retrouvaille is a live-in weekend and post weekend
programme for married couples. The emphasis is on a new technique of
communication between a husband and wife. During the weekend, a series
of in-depth presentations are given to you and other couples like
yourselves. Each presentation, given by one of three married couples and
a priest, focuses on a specific area of a marriage relationship. After
each presentation, you will have a chance to reflect on it by yourself,
then discuss it with your spouse in complete privacy.
The weekend is not a spiritual retreat, not a sensitivity group, not a
seminar, nor is it a social gathering. You will, however, the encouraged
to put the past behind you and start ‘rediscovering’ one another again.
The weekend is not a ‘miracle cure’ and, therefore, post weekend
sessions have been designed to continue the marriage renewal begun on
the weekend. These follow-up sessions review earlier concepts in greater
depth, present new ones and help you apply these concepts to your own
marriage.

residents to make their feeling known. A number of representatives have
also met with their local M.P. Shaun Woodward. Local councillors have
been contacted by many concerned residents. The current position will be
relayed on this blog as and when there are developments.

Our Parish Mission has ended........our mission has
just begun.........
Our Mission Prayer:
"Father you have created all people
to be your children.
Your will is that all people live
in your peace and love. We
ask your Holy Spirit to fill our parish with love, helping us all
to imitate our brother Jesus.
He taught us that actions can speak louder than words. May we, by our
Christian example
in our day to day lives, lead others
to you. May we share
our world generously, with people of all nationalities,
beliefs and races, treating all whom we meet with respect
and love."
What can we, as individuals do...we need to ask in what ways does our
Parish promote God's message of love and reconciliation and are there
obstacles that prevent us doing this?
