Marriage Encounter is a worldwide Catholic voluntary organisation that runs the Marriage Encounter Weekend. Presented by three married couples and a priest, the weekend is a residential workshop that offers married couples with a good stable relationship the opportunity to explore, renew and enrich what they already have going for them in a way that completely respects their privacy.

The weekend is very much about the spouses being in a unique sacramental relationship that involves not only them but also God, their family and the wider community of the Church to which they belong. Priests and religious also make the weekend to grow and enrich their special relationship with their parishioners and the communities that they serve.

A special Enriching Weekend will be held at the Cork International Airport Hotel from the 28th to the 30th March. See advert page 11 for further details.
