We are a dynamic married, Catholic couple who offer an interactive retreat experience for all ages. We challenge groups and individuals to explore their faith with the use of visual meditations, prayer and praise, reflection, team building activities and a variety of prayer experiences, helping them deepen the sense of Christ in their lives and the world. We are members of the National Association of Catholic Youth Ministry Leaders and the National Association of Catholic Family Life Ministers.
