Beyond Cana offers the time and tools to restore 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 of this is done from a Catholic perspective, with an understanding that marriage is a sacrament.
Each couple is given time alone to discuss issues important to their marriage and their relationship. No one will observe or interfere with each couple’s time alone. Nor will you be required to share any of your discussions.
Spiritual time is interspersed throughout the weekend — time for reflection, forgiveness, and sharing the Word of God. Both nights on the weekend are just for the two of you. They are “date nights” where you are allowed the time to only have eyes for each other.
WHEN: September 25-27, 2026. The weekend begins on Friday at 1PM and concludes with the 10:00 Sunday Mass at St. Joseph Chapel at Oblate School of Theology.
WHERE: Drury Inn & Suites (1604 and IH-10)
