Share our Vision, Volunteer

If Engaged Encounter is to continue to grow, we need your help. There are many ways to do this. For example, you could simply spread the word about Engaged Encounter to family, friends, and even your parish priest.

Here are some more ideas …

Ask the priest that is witnessing your wedding if he has ever made an Engaged Encounter weekend. Having a priest as a part of our presenting team offers a unique perspective in all of the presentations, liturgies, and the Saturday Evening Discussion.

You might also consider being a Prayer Couple. This requires little time commitment. You just need to pray for an engaged couple over the course of the weekend. This prayer support may be just the lift that some future engaged couple needs to be open and honest with each other.

Some couples like to volunteer to be a host couple on Friday evenings, helping couples (who are often very nervous about what to expect) carry their luggage and get settled in. This only requires a few hours on a Friday evening and can be scheduled well in advance.

You might consider becoming a presenting couple and sharing the experiences you have had with engaged couples in the hope that it will strengthen their relationship. Of course, we would not expect you to participate in any of these activities between now and your wedding unless you choose to do so.

Engaged Encounter is an entirely volunteer organization- from the couples who carry your bags, to the presenting teams, even the couples who go around the world forming new communities.

What others are saying

We had a wonderful weekend.  We can not thank you enough for sharing your experiences with us.  Mike and I had time to talk about some topics we haven’t before and to talk more in depth about other issues..  God Bless You All.
Michael and Tracy
Thank you for a wonderful weekend.  Through your guidance we feel that we have deepened our relationship and learned ways in which we may deepen our love in the presence of God.
Michael and Tracy
Thank you so much for showing us your love in your marriage. Its rewarding to see how you both focus your effort on your marriage and continually renew your vows and your love, especially through CEE.
Anthony and Irene
Thank you for sharing your personal issues with us. It really helped us with our own issues
Eddie and Kate
Suzanne, As a mother and expectant mother, I know you have very little time to spare so thank you for spending your valuable time with us over the weekend. Troy and I weren’t forced to go through CEE, however my Lutheran pastor urged us to do some form of counseling. We had a recommendation for CEE and being Troy is Catholic, we moved forward with the weekend. We (admittedly) drudgingly drove up after a long, hard work week in DC to the Spiritual Center in MD, but now are so grateful we did. Thr…
Angela and Troy
Thank you so much for taking the time to provide a wonderful and informative weekend for us. Though William and I have known each other for 4 years we learned a lot more about ourselves, which may have not happened if it was not for this weekend.
Elizabeth and William
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 the lovely weekend. We enjoyed ourselves and learned a lot. We will recommend Engaged Encounter to others”
Patrick and Lesley
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.
Joshua and Elizabeth
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…
