CENACLE FOR COUPLES

Welcoming God to let Him transform your couple

  • From the Passion to the Resurrection, 3 days were enough to transform humanity in a radical way through the advent of Christ's Salvation on Easter day.

  • Salvation received in fullness by the disciples at Pentecost.

  • Similarly, 3 days are enough for Christ and the Holy Spirit to lead a couple to experience a profound human and spiritual rebirth.

  • By relying on faith in Christ the Savior and trusting in the action of the Holy Spirit, spouses are invited to experience Christ's Salvation at the heart of their married life and a true outpouring of the Holy Spirit upon their love and commitment.

This retreat is for all couples, especially those whose lives are marked by tensions, difficulties or trials, who want to taste the goodness, love, mercy and saving power of Christ. Couples preparing for the sacrament of marriage are also welcome.


The proposed approach centers on the progressive welcome of the fullness of Salvation given in Jesus Christ.


5 stages structure the weekend:

    • Pentecost upon our personal life
    • Pentecost upon our marriage
    • Pentecost upon our married life
    • Pentecost upon our family and our future
    • Pentecost in view of mission

    The weekend offers an alternation between liturgical celebration, prayers of praise, preaching, times of Eucharistic adoration, silence, confessions, and couple sharing.

    Possibility to meet with a priest or a "praying, listening" couple
