The Weekend itself is a series of presentations given by two married couples, usually with a priest or religious person acting as an integral part of the Team. The Weekend Team takes the engaged couples on a personal journey into what the Sacrament of Matrimony means to them personally and the impact that a great marriage can have upon the world around us. Though the Weekend is given in a group setting, the engaged couples are asked to focus on each other and the presentations are followed by a period of time where the engaged couples write on specific topics separately and then come together as a couple to share their reflections in a setting which promotes trust, honesty and openness in their Weekend journey. |
