Marriage Encounter @ Hannon's Hotel, Roscommon Town
Oct 17 @ 3:00 pm – 5:00 pm

Marriage Encounter, which was established in 1962, offers residential weekends for Catholic married couples. The purpose of the weekends is to give couples the opportunity to spend time together and, with the help of some input, to spend some of that time exploring their own relationship and deepening their love. Understandable, some people might prefer to have a better idea of what to expect before committing to a weekend. With that in mind the Marriage Encounter team, in partnership with the Diocese of Elphin, will host an information session on Saturday next 17th October at 3pm in Hannon’s Hotel, Roscommon Town. All are welcome.
