At some point, did you stop sharing about the things that were important to you? Did your spouse? Improving a marriage takes time and a conscious effort to learn about your spouse. Growing closer in a marriage does not happen automatically. Retrouvaille is a marriage program dedicated to helping couples grow closer and develop a stronger bond. You give your heart and soul to everything you do, between your work and your family. Are you giving your heart and soul to your marriage? Sometimes the distance between a husband and a wife can seem so wide that it cannot be repaired. Retrouvaille is a marriage program designed to bring couples closer together. For more information about an upcoming Retrouvaille Weekend program for couples, contact the registration team at 1-800-470-2230 or visit our website: www.retrouvaillemt.org or www.helpourmarriage.com Page 3 D OF I The Daughters of Isabella will meet on Monday, January 28th at 6:00 pm in the Doran Center.

General Announcements There s no place like home or is there? Having just celebrated Christmas and many having the chance to reconnect with family members, we can be sentimental about the experience. Still others have very strained relationships with family members and old friends particularly because of choices made to live the Catholic Faith mor intentionally. If this is your situation, you share the company of Jesus in this weekend s Gospel. The strain in these relationships can cause hurt, but Jesus desires us to stand with him in confidence. To buoy your relationship with Jesus, try: Praying for those who persecute you Forgive those who say hurtful things or ignore you Intentionally use words of affirmation with those who speak ill of you Plan to attend our Valentine s Date Night on February 9th at Buffalo Hill golf Club.
