Engaged Encounter is an intensive working weekend that meets the "Building a
Life Together" component of the Richmond Diocese Marriage Preparation Program.
Each couple is offered time
and opportunity to question, examine, and deepen their relationship with
each other and with God. Couples are challenged to explore their
relationship prayerfully, in a much deeper, more honest way than they
have before.
The weekend is divided into three main discussions – Communication, Marriage, and
Sacrament.
