Stress-Proof your family! Go on a Worldwide Marriage Encounter Weekend! Marriage Encounter is 44 hours where married couples can get away from jobs, kids, chores and phones and focus only on each other. If you'd like greater depth, growth, and enrichment in your relationship, you'll like the difference a Worldwide Marriage Encounter weekend can make!

Take time "Two-Gether." National Marriage Encounter is a weekend experience of re-discovery and renewal. Using safe and loving communication methods, couples reflect and dialogue in private to make their good marriages even better. While our weekends include the opportunity to attend Mass and participate in the Sacrament of Reconciliation, couples of all denominations are welcome. For more information, please call Rich & Fran Walden at (586) 838-4447 or email us at waldenluv@wowway.com or visit our website at www.national-marriage-encounter.org for current events.

The word retrouvaille means "rediscovery."
Couples with troubled marriages that have taken part in a Retrouvaille Weekend - even those originally on the verge of divorce, confirm that they found a new and life-giving marriage relationship through the gift of this weekend. You will not be asked to share any details of your marriage, and personal prayer support is available but never forced. Retrouvaille is highly recommended by the Archdiocese. Call (313) 237-6052 or visit www.retrouvaille.org for current events.

Project Life

Project Life of the Archdiocese of Detroit lends a helping hand to those who feel forced by whatever problems or pressures they face to choose abortion or assisted suicide. Please call the Project Life help line at 800-281-2102. All calls are confidential.

Every human being has worth and dignity - from conception to the last natural breath. Life itself is a gift from God and thus we do not have the right to diminish or take it away. The gift of life is ours from God and it is to be nourished and utilized to the fullest, not merely for individual purpose, but for the benefit of all humankind

In support of life in all its stages, Project life coordinates the resources of the Archdiocese of Detroit, in partnership with Catholic social service organizations, health care service organizations, parish communities and archdiocesan offices.

"I stand ready to process whatever resources are necessary: personnel, educational materials and financial resources - basically whatever it takes, to respond personally and directly to any woman considering an abortion, to respond personally and directly to any person considering the so-called option of physician assisted suicide." ~ Adam Cardinal Maida

Project Life publishes a newsletter that can be found on the Archdiocese's website.
