CATHOLIC MARRIAGE ENCOUNTER IN IRELAND

Catholic Marriage Encounter in Ireland is a faith-based organisation that offers couples a chance to deepen their relationship through immersive weekend experiences. Drawing on the worldwide Marriage Encounter movement - active in more than 90 countries and having welcomed over 2.5 million couples since 1962 - the Irish branch runs two distinct programmes: the Marriage Enrichment weekend for couples already married, and the Catholic Engaged Encounter weekend for those preparing for the Sacrament of Matrimony.

Both retreats are designed as a "weekend of discovery, a lifetime of love", providing a supportive environment where participants can explore new dimensions of partnership, communication and spiritual growth. The weekends are delivered across the island, with events in the Republic of Ireland organised by Catholic Marriage Encounter in Ireland and parallel sessions in Northern Ireland coordinated by Catholic Marriage Encounter Northern Ireland.

Through these thoughtfully crafted gatherings, the organisation helps married and engaged couples rediscover the joy of their commitment and build a solid foundation for a thriving, faith-filled future together.
