Learn the Art of Living your Marriage Journey A Unique Worldwide Marriage Encounter Weekend Experience Oct at St Anthony Spirituality Center in Marathon SIGN UP NOW at iowa-wwme.org or call to take advantage of this special opportunity. "Love needs time and space; everything else is secondary. Time is needed to talk things over, to embrace leisurely, to share plans, to listen to one another and gaze in each other's eyes, to appreciate one another and to build a stronger relationship. Sometimes the frenetic pace of our society and the pressures of the workplace create problems. At other times, the problem is the lack of quality time together, sharing the same room without one even noticing the other." Pope Francis Living together is an art and can be a beautiful journey. Marriage can be challenging with family, work, finances, kids, busy schedules and all that life offers. Losing focus on what is important in life is easy. A Worldwide Marriage Encounter weekend experience focuses on what s important in your marriage and provides the tools to live a beautiful journey together. Who is it for? Any married couple that desires a richer, fuller life together. Who presents the weekend experience? 3 Catholic Couples & a Priest. Is there group sharing? No, the series of presentations are followed by a couple s time for discernment and discussion in the privacy of their room. How is a Worldwide Marriage Encounter weekend experience different? It isn t a retreat, group therapy or marriage counseling. The weekend experience provides a quiet, meditative environment for couples to focus on one another and their relationship. How much does a weekend experience cost? At the end of the weekend you will be asked to prayerfully consider contributing what you can to help cover the cost of the weekend and to make the weekend possible for others. Where can I find more information? 2

Mark 10:14 Adult & Teen Leaders are Needed - Children s Liturgy of the Word Children s Liturgy of the Word is held every Sunday from September May during the 10 am Mass. It is designed for children ages 4 and up. It offers the opportunity for children to hear the Scripture in words they understand.
