About Us

Introduction

Welcome to the captivating journey of Catholic Engaged Encounter, an organization deeply rooted in the vibrant community of faith and beliefs. Through this page, we aim to provide you with a comprehensive understanding of our rich history, mission, and the profound impact we have made in the lives of countless couples.

Early Beginnings

Our story can be traced back to the early 1970s when a group of passionate individuals, driven by their unwavering commitment to supporting couples on their journey to a sacramental marriage, came together. Catholic Engaged Encounter was born out of the realization of the need for a program that focused on the spiritual growth and preparation of engaged couples.

The Journey Unfolds

Over the years, Catholic Engaged Encounter has grown into a dynamic community, with volunteers spread across the globe. Our dedicated team consists of experienced facilitators, couples, and clergy members who work tirelessly to create an environment of love, understanding, and spiritual nourishment.

Our Mission

At Catholic Engaged Encounter, our mission is to guide engaged couples towards a deeper understanding of love, commitment, and the importance of incorporating faith into their married life. We believe that a strong foundation built on spiritual connection is essential for lasting and fulfilling marriages.

What Sets Us Apart

What distinguishes Catholic Engaged Encounter from other pre-marriage programs is our unique format. Our highly regarded weekend retreats provide engaged couples with a safe and enriching space to explore their relationship, discuss important topics, and grow in love.

Weekend Retreats

During our weekend retreats, couples engage in guided discussions, interactive exercises, and private reflection time. With the guidance of experienced facilitators, couples have the opportunity to delve deep into various aspects of their relationship, including communication, conflict resolution, intimacy, and faith.

Formation and Support

Beyond the retreat experience, Catholic Engaged Encounter offers ongoing formation and support to ensure couples continue to thrive in their journey towards a lifelong, faith-filled marriage. We provide resources, mentorship programs, and assistance in finding local communities to maintain the connections established during the retreat.

Making an Impact

Through our work, Catholic Engaged Encounter has had a profound impact on countless couples. Many have credited our program with laying a solid foundation for their marriage and equipping them with the necessary tools to face the challenges that arise in married life.
