Worldwide Marriage Encounter – November 8th and 9th in Neenah, WI

Worldwide Marriage Encounter – November 8th and 9th in Neenah, WI

WWME is a worldwide Catholic marriage enrichment ministry that puts on weekend experiences where couples learn to better communicate and live out their sacrament every day. It is a chance for couples to grow more intimately in faith and love together. Everything is based in our Catholic teachings and beliefs, and our faith is involved in all aspects of the experience. It’s similar to National Marriage Encounter that has been held in Green Bay in the past – both that group and Retrouvaille branched off of the original WWME experience.

The experience is happening November 8th and November 9th at St. Mary Catholic Middle School in Neenah, Wisconsin. Couples can register for the experience at wwme.org

The Fisherman’s Ring

Did you know that each pope wears a custom ring engraved with his name? The ring, called The Fisherman’s Ring, depicts Saint Peter in a boat, a reference to his role as a fisher of men. The tradition of destroying the ring after each pope’s death was changed in 2013 when Pope Benedict XVI resigned. Instead of being destroyed, a deep cross was carved into his ring so it could no longer be used.
