Retrouvaille – A Lifeline for Hurting Marriages Is your marriage or that of a relative or friend heading for divorce? Do you know how to save that marriage? Or do you feel helpless? Retrouvaille is a Catholic program designed to help troubled marriages regain their health. It helps spouses uncover or re-awaken the love, trust and commitment that originally brought them together, and gives them new communication tools to break patterns of angry behavior. The program is highly successful in saving hurting marriages, even bringing reconciliation to couples who have already separated or divorced. 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. 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.
Eucharistic Adoration, "Come Pray with Me".Our Lord asked His apostles and now He is asking us, can't you pray with me an hour? At St Mary's we have the privilege of being able to sit with the Lord. This is a great blessing to those who come to adoration, to their families and friends, to our community and our church. The First Friday of each month we have Eucharistic adoration from 1:00 pm to 6:00 pm in the chapel. Contact Caroline Trujillo 924-9952 or Dorothy Gall for more information.
