The  very foundation of our work is our baptism, which invites us to be on mission with the Church. While some of our work involves the development of the professional ministers, i.e., priest, deacons, pastoral associates, and lay ecclesial ministers, much of our target audience are the folks in the pews.  Among our services are:

• Parish consultations for developing effective Marriage Support;
• Facilitator training for “Relationship Boot Camp” programs that target unmarried couples who are ambivalent about marriage but engaged in family life;
• Marriage retreats and enrichment programs;
• Sacramental formation that provides experiences to empower with skills and deepen faith;

Then there are the more explicit trainings we provide for marriage preparation, i.e.,

• FOCCUS^© Facilitator Training;
• Marriage Ministry Guidelines seminars; and
• Relationship Boot Camp Training.

“We give the most powerful, transforming, miracle-making love when the  beloved is least deserving. It is then that our love reflects the love of God given in the sacrifice of the cross. Our ‘Easter’ is of God’s shaping us into who we need to be.” - Andrew & Terri Lyke
