Baltimore Catholic Engaged Encounter

While it would be earnestly honest to reveal that we came to the monastery “as required” by our preist. We wish to pass along that we left on Sunday with a feeling of accomplishment and a feeling that we had just added a little more horsepower to the engine that makes us go as a couple. Heartfelt thanks to each of you as you continue to journey through the enriching journey that is marraige. Your brutal honesty was refreshing and identifiable to us. We hope that our journey will be similar to yo…

Thank you for a wonderful weekend. Chris and I have learned so much together this weekend. We feel we have a lot of new tools to help make our marriage successful. We enjoyed meeting all of you and witnessing your love for each other

This weekend has blown all of my expectations out of the water.  For me personally, I have a renewed sense of spirituality and I am really excited to enrich it beyond this weekend.  For us as a couple, this experience has really brought things “big picture” and definitely experienced some self discovery on “simmering issues.”  There is not enough space to express the many thanks we have, but please remember your work here is a blessing to all those that attend and please continue to g…

Thank you for sharing your personal issues with us. It really helped us with our own issues

We would like to thank you for making our Engaged Encounter Weekend such a wonderful experience. It was obvious that you spent a lot of time and energy preparing for the weekend. The personal and intimate details of your relationship that you so openly shared, and being in a quiet place away from all of the everyday distractions, enabled us to share in depth so many of the things we had touched on in the past, and it really brought us closer. We appreciate all of the sacrafices you made to stren…

We would like to thank you very much for this weekend.  We felt we knew a lot about each other but this weekend helped increase that knowledge as well as made us feel more normal in our up and down moments.

We would like to be a prayer couple for a Catholic/non-Catholuc couple like us.  Coming into this weekend Josh had various concerns about pressures to convert or accept God.  We found this experience very helpful and would like to share this with a couple who may have similar concerns.  Thank you for this weekend.

Thank you for a wonderful weekend. We were able to really work on our issues, both old and new. For me (Lauren) as a Lutheran who has been very involved in both the Lutheran and Catholic churches I was both excited and concerned about what this weekend might bring. You all far surpassed my expectations by being welcoming, warm and non-judgemental. You stayed true to what the church teaches while being respectful of those present who may not completely ascribe to those views. You walked a fine li…

Thank you for the eye opening weekend. I have been struggling with my faith and have started the healing process with God because of the past few days. Thank you for helping me bring him back into my life

Thank you for the great weekend and for giving us the courage to tackle the tough issues.  We have grown and our marriage will be better for it.
