Breakout sessions:

When our children leave the Faith - How should we respond? by Paul Swope
Today's modern culture does not nourish the Catholic vision of committed sacramental marriage.  We will discuss some of the headwinds that face marriage in today's world, and in particular explore how to respond when children leave their Catholic Faith.

Stewarding financial gifts as a couple by Bernard & Rachel Towne
A discussion about the financial challenges that couples face, how to manage finances together, steward the gifts that God has given, and direct them to fulfilling God’s plans for the Church and for the World. Come prepared to discuss budgeting, financial structures to maximize communication, “moral” investing, legacy planning, and various tax efficient methods for charitable giving.

How we made it to 59 years of marriage by Bill & Jan Klemme
Sharing the ups and downs of our journey and some of the things we've learned - about love, about who we are as a couple and as individuals. What does God's love and commitment look like in a world that doesn't really know God. Come for practical wisdom, real hope, and a vision of love that grows deeper, steadier, and more radiant over time.

You and your spouse are welcome to attend the same breakout or split up to cover different sessions. Please make a selection for each of you so we can plan accordingly.
