The Marriage Encounter Weekend is the most beautiful and rewarding experience we have had as a couple, and we would like to share it with you.

It is not a coincidence that you have been invited. The Lord is calling you. He wants to share His love with you and let you know that He is with you every step of the way. “…Fear not, for I have redeemed you. I have called you by name, you are mine.” (Isaiah 43:1)

God has a special plan for you during this Marriage Encounter weekend. Living in today’s busy world leaves us with very little time to appreciate the gift of each other that we have received in marriage, the gift given to us by God. Wherever you are in your marriage,this weekend is meant to enhance and strengthen your relationship as a couple, with God in the center of your marriage.

We have enclosed,for your reference, an information sheet and application form.The suggested weekend donation is $250 per couple, which covers 1-night stay and meals. Please return the completed information sheet, along with a copy of your Catholic Marriage Certificate, Some Personal Photographs, on the submission before date of the event… Instructions is provided in the packet once you scan the QR Code, that says “SCAN ME FOR MORE INFORMATION!”
The secondary QR Code, that says “SCAN ME 4 MORE BLD-PHX COMMUNITY INFO!” along with the instructions in the packet will bring you to the Unit Link Page of the BLD Phoenix where you can access to the Community’s Updates, Activities, Directories, and other Community Partners.

We look forward to the opportunity of sharing this wonderful and ameliorating experience with you.

In the fullness of God’s everlasting and self-giving love and service,
