Corazon Retreat Who is the program for: Couples struggling to communicate Couples struggling to find reason to stay together Couples who are cold and distant from each other Couples who are living the single married life Couples who are separated/divorced, but wanting to try again. Corazon is a weekend experience in which couples will be challenged to soften their hearts by looking at what the Sacrament of Marriage is all about, next we look deeply into our own short-comings and failures, and finally to offer different tools to help heal from hurts we have caused each other and move forward. Corazon is not a support group, a seminar, a social gathering, nor is it counseling. You will not be asked to share your problems with anyone else. You will be encouraged to participate with open hearts and minds and to come with an attitude ready to put the past behind you and look forward to what the future will hold. Topics addressed: Love Languages Sacrament of Marriage Communication Challenges Conflict Management Forgiveness Unrealistic Expectations Single Married Life Hardened Hearts Hope Prayer/Praying Together/Adoration No one will ever be turned away from the chance to renew their marriage because of a lack of funds. We would like a non-refundable deposit of $100 to secure your registration. There will be a tax deductible donation asked for on the weekend itself. Everyone who registers will be called by the Director of Family Ministry from the Diocese of Bismarck. We will visit with each of you individually to share a bit more about what to expect and what not to expect from the program. Please do your best to return the phone call if a message is left. These retreats will be held on both April 30-May 2 and August 20-22. Please encourage any of your parishioner couples who may be in marriages in crisis to attend a weekend. All confidences are kept and privacy for anyone inquiring about or attending a Corazon retreat is a priority. Brochures are available and if more are needed from the diocese, please contact Amanda. If couples have questions that the brochure doesn’t answer, they can contact Amanda at 701-204-7205. For registration or additional information, please visit bismarckdiocese.com/corazon.
