The purpose of the LOVESTRONG Marriage Ministry is simply to strengthen the love and relationships between married men and women in our Parish. Strong marriages make strong families and strong families are the irreplaceable cornerstones of a vibrant and dynamic Catholic community.
The LOVESTRONG Marriage Retreat is a Friday evening to Sunday afternoon weekend hosted by Catholic layperson married couples. The retreat is packed with special presentations, exercises, music, and activities designed to celebrate and reinforce each couple’s commitment to each other and a deepening of their Christ-centered bond.
The next LOVESTRONG Marriage Retreat will be this Fall 2023 here at the Shrine of St. Padre Pio, 3843 Bulverde Pkwy, San Antonio, TX. 78259
