Marriage and Family Life

Retrouvaille is a program designed to provide help and support to married couples who are undergoing difficulties in their relationship. Sponsored by the Catholic Church, Retrouvaille is open to couples of all faiths. It has proven helpful to couples who are troubled and stressed, or if the relationship has grown cold and distant. The next Retrouvaille Weekend will be October 5-7, 2018 at the William J. Kelly Retreat Center in Bay St. Louis, Mississippi.
