Priests and Religious           

"I began to understand just how important love was in my life.
The fact that people loved me and that it was all right for me
to love in return was the beginning of a major transformation
to fullness of life in my priesthood."
-Bishop John J. Kaising, D.D.

YES!  Worldwide Marriage Encounter Weekends are designed in such a way that both Priest and Religious can participate fully.  The principles of Love, Commitment and Effective Communication translate quite easily to the relationship between a priest and those to whom he ministers.

What Can a Worldwide Marriage Encounter Weekend Do For You?

What Can Worldwide Marriage Encounter Do For Your Ministry?

 

 

Here is what some priests have to say about Worldwide Marriage Encounter and what it has done for them:

"Whether you do it for your people or do it for yourself, just take a weekend off from your ministry and make a Worldwide Marriage Encounter.  It was the most important weekend that I spent in my 25 years of priesthood.  I really believe that those whom I have served as a pastor since my weekend would agree."
                                                                                        -Father Dennis Hughes

"If you are tired of being just another human doing instead of a human being, the weekend helps you to reflect on your own experience of ministray and your value as a person.  The weekend humbles priests to see how holy their people are in their courage to take risks and share of themselves.  I sensed the awesome presence of the power of the Lord as He moves in the hearts of the people."
                                                                                        -Father Tom Devery

"I gained a profound respect for the Sacrament of Marriage.  In a ministry where almost all of a priest's time is spent with people who are, will be, or have been married, this understanding I gained from the Weekend has been invaluable."
                                                                                        -Father John Curran
