Sacramental Marriage Formation at Mary, Mother of the Church will take place on July 5, 6, 26, and 27, 2025. The times are as follows:- Saturday, July 5 - 10:00AM to 5:00PM

- A weekend experience for couples who have a good marriage and want to make it better.
- A series of presentations by three couples and a priest is made. Each presentation gives you and your spouse a rare opportunity to look at yourselves as individuals, then to look at your marriage and your relationship in the privacy of your room.
- Come experience the weekend! You deserve it!
- If interested in registering for this program or helping out with it, contact Stan & Miriam Amaladas, Local Encounter Leaders, at 204-261-3887 or email.

We recognize that sometimes "life" happens, even with the best intentions. Relationships go through struggles, and sometimes break down. In these situations, we are also here to support you through the process with spiritual support groups, resources, and programs.
