Couples slowly and quietly drift apart, or are being torn apart by terrible words and actions. Are you frustrated, hurt, angry? Does talking about it only make it worse? The Retrouvaille program offers the chance to rediscover yourself, your spouse, and a loving relationship in your marriage. The next Retrouvaille Weekend will be September 10-12.

Richard and Debbie are Retrouvaille participants who spoke with the Southern Cross.

Listen to Bishop Boland's Homily

While not part of the Sacred Triduum, it is always a foreshadowing of the events of Holy Week and the occasion for the priests of the local church to renew and reaffirm their priestly promises of service to the Church - service to the Sacrament of Christ. In these coming days may we be buried in Christ and rise with him in a newness of life that we will share with others. (more)
