Join us in celebrating National Marriage Week that will be held from February 7th through February 14th!
National Marriage Week is a special time to reflect on the beautiful gift of the sacrament of matrimony. This year’s theme from the USCCB (United States Conference of Catholic Bishops Office for Laity, Marriage, Family Life and Youth) is: “Marriage: Source of Hope, Spring of Renewal, Pursue a Lasting Love!”
We invite couples to strengthen their bond and deepen their lifelong commitment to each other. Please see below for ways to improve your marriage – that can be done at home with your spouse.

Opportunity for Youth to Encounter Jesus in the Mountains
My name is Jane VandenBoogart and I am a co-founder of CLR Ministries, Inc. along with Jim VandeHey. Our mission at CLR Ministries is to inspire youth in our community by helping them grow in their personal relationship with Jesus. We achieve this mission by bringing a group of youth and young adults (high school and up) to the mountains on an eight-day retreat. Surrounded by the undeniable handiwork of God, the trip is filled with hiking, canoeing, rock climbing, daily Catholic Mass, building Christ-centered friendships, and activities geared toward growing a personal relationship with Jesus.
The 2025 retreat will take place in Wyoming at a camp near the Wyoming Catholic College which our very own Bishop David Ricken helped establish. It’s a beautiful setting in which to encounter Jesus in the mountains.
We would love to have youth/young adults from your parishes join us this year. The dates of our trip will be July 4th through July 11, 2025.
The cost per person is $1,100, which includes transportation, food, lodging, and covers the cost of the activities during the trip. There are incentives to reduce the cost – complete forms, assignments, and training on time. Also fundraising can be done by parishes to support the youth. The deadline for submitting applications is January 15, 2025.
