Catholic Engaged Encounter (CEE)

What it is.

* Catholic Engaged Encounter (CEE) is an investment in your future as husband and wife. It is a weekend created for the two of you. On the weekend you will concentrate exclusively on each other, free of the tensions, pressures, and interruptions of daily living.

The focus of CEE is on communication in your relationship. You will learn to use tools which will enrich your relationship through better communication with each other. You will have the opportunity to explore your strengths and weaknesses as you listen to presentations and work through exercises as a couple. It is through communication that you will learn the true meaning of You and I (individuals) and We (coupleness).

A team, consisting of a priest, senior couple and junior couple, will present and guide the weekend. Their presentations include personal sharing of their marriages and family issues, and encourage you to come involved in your own period of discovery.

What It Is Not.

* CEE is not a retreat...though many couples express a renewed spirit after attending the weekend. It is not a group dynamic session...though you will meet and enjoy other couples there.It is not to be taken lightly.
