Second Collection—Retirement Fund for Religious
2026-12-05 00:00 - 2026-12-06 23:59
Elderly Catholic sisters, brothers, and religious order priests have offered their lives in service to others—educating the young, comforting the sick, and ministering to the less fortunate. Today, many are frail and need assistance. Your gift to the Retirement Fund for Religious helps them receive medications, nursing care, and more.

The Archdiocesan Marriage Preparation workshops are designed for engaged couples preparing for marriage in the Catholic Church. It is highly recommended that couples take these two separate classes as soon as possible, to avoid scheduling conflicts. The two parts, “Life Skills for Couples” or “Love Again”, and “Marriage as Sacrament”, are offered simultaneously on the Saturdays listed. Therefore, they cannot be taken on the same Saturday.

This event is only available in English.

ECHO is a truly unique Catholic retreat experience, rooted in St. John Paul II’s Theology of the Body. Traditionally a week-long retreat, this ‘mini’ version beautifully provides a taste of the full ECHO experience. Combining dynamic talks, prayer and sacraments, daily Mass and Adoration, small group discussions, artistic expression, and authentic community, ECHO takes participants on a journey to answer the deepest questions of the human heart. Questions such as: “Who am I?” “What is my vocation?” “How can I truly find happiness?” “What is God’s plan for my life?”

This event is only available in English.
