DO YOU HAVE TO BE CATHOLIC TO GO ON A WEEKEND?

The weekend is Catholic in orientation and is expressed in the tradition and understanding of the Catholic Church. It is open to all, and so a certain number of spaces are reserved each weekend for couples of other faiths. The focus is not on details of individual beliefs and faith: it is about relationship in marriage. Couples of many different faiths have enhanced their relationship as a result of the weekend experience. There are also many other faith expressions of Marriage Encounter Weekends - Lutheran, Methodist, Church of Christ, Jewish, Assemblies of God, Seventh Day Adventist, Baptist, Episcopal, and Anglican.
