Retrouvaille is similar to Marriage Encounter, but with one important difference. The leaders are couples whose own marriages once nearly failed. They inspire couples in hurting marriages to try new ways to love each other. The next Retrouvaille weekend is June 6-8, 2008 at Mt. Angel Retreat House, Mt. Angel, Oregon. For information, call 503-285-2342 or visit www.helpourmarriage.org. Couples of all faiths are Welcome and no one is turned away due to financial difficulties.

If you would like additional information about this ministry or would like to obtain or request a shawl for someone, contact Carol Hawke 926-2106 or Pat Jacobson at 928-2327.
