Whether you are preparing for marriage or seeking to deepen and renew your married life, these Marriage Talks with Fr. Michael are designed to support and strengthen your relationship. Rooted in the Church’s rich teaching and lived experience, each evening offers practical wisdom, meaningful conversation, and spiritual insight for couples at every stage of their journey together.

The talks are presented in a welcoming group setting with other couples, creating space for shared reflection, thoughtful discussion, and questions. Together, we will explore what it truly means to love, commit, communicate, and live out the vocation of marriage as God intends.

Couples are encouraged to attend all sessions, but each talk also stands on its own. Join us on Friday evenings at Ss. Robert & William (SRW) Fridays at 7:00 PM in the Sacred Heart Conference Room located in the Parish Offices.
