A Catholic Marriage Enrichment

Beyond Cana® offers the time and tools to enrich and strengthen marriages — with God and His direction for us at the center. This 2½ day retreat is designed to enrich the marriages of couples who want to focus on the communication, respect, love, and intimacy that are so integral to a good marriage. A blend of spiritual and practical talks, reflection, and prayer are combined with useful tools designed to improve communication and your relationship with your spouse — even if it’s good now. All this is done from a Catholic perspective, with an understanding of marriage as a sacrament.

Comments from Past Retreats

“We needed something spiritually uplifting, but at the same time, something concrete and visual from which to work. Beyond Cana met both those goals.”

“Being alone with my spouse without computers, cell phones, and TV, and then the ability to talk, really talk to each other. Not only talking but understanding God is with us in everything we do, touch, feel, etc. and learning The Bible is our handbook for marriage.”

“I liked the opportunity and time to discuss important issues with my spouse. The clearly stated expectations gave me the support I needed to say things to him I haven’t said before.”

“I had heard Beyond Cana was ‘the best thing we could have done for our marriage.’ I thought ‘enriching maybe, but the best thing?’ Well, Beyond Cana WAS the best thing we have ever done for our marriage!”
