"Healthy Marriage, Vibrant Ministry:" Clergy Couple Retreat is April 23-25

"Who else is going to take care of your marriage if you don't?" the brochure for the annual clergy couple retreat at Antiochian Village asks.

The popular weekend event, held this year on April 23-25, sets out the following goals for clergy couples:

  • to enjoy time together
  • to attend to your marriage away from the distractions and “busyness” of daily life
  • to draw closer to Christ and each other
  • to meet and share with other Clergy Couples
  • to be refreshed by the beauty of spring in the peaceful surroundings at the Village

This year's retreat speaker is Presbytera Kerry Pappas, a certified Prepare-Enrich facilitator and trainer, and a licensed marriage and family therapist who works for the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese as the Coordinator for Clergy Couple Care.  The schedule of the weekend allows for group time and quiet reflection. Prior to the retreat, couples will complete a "Couple Checkup," an online assessment.
