Marriage Enrichment Ministry

Please join the Incarnate Word Marriage Enrichment Ministry for our Sunday Morning Sessions hosted by parishioner couples Mary & Jon Jonz and Lauren & Christian Clerc. This year we will cover present Chris Stefanik's "7 Steps to an Amazing Marriage" program. Through this series, you and your spouse will feel renewed in your marriage, your faith, and your family too!  

The group meets on six (6) Sunday mornings from 10-11:30am in the Watson & Barron Rooms and will explore these topics - Giving Thanks; Be Purpose Driven; Delight; Remove Your Armor; Be Healed; and Have a God Centered Marriage.  Join each one or as your calendar allows on: 10/12, 10/26, 11/16, 12/7, 1/11, and 1/25. Click HERE to register. Please list total # in your family and include names and ages of children needing childcare. Questions? Contact Kelli Mitchell at [email protected].

If you would like to help with childcare during these sessions so young couples are able to participate, please click HERE to volunteer or contact Anni Christamn ([email protected]). All volunteers, age 18+, are required to complete the Prevent and Protect STL Program requirements (also known as Protecting God's Children program).  Please contact Andrea Brockmann ([email protected]) in the parish office if you need more information about this.  

Many parishioners have found deeper connections through small groups. These groups are affiliated with the Incarnate Word Marriage Enrichment Ministry and meet independently on a regular basis in their homes. These small groups are an alternative format to the larger Marriage Enrichment Groups that will meet on Wednesday Evenings and Sunday Mornings at Incarnate Word. Host couples are needed to facilitate these independent small groups. The couple may choose their own group of 3-5 couples or open their group for sign-ups from fellow parishioner couples, also for a total group size of 3-5 couples. We have everything you need to get your group started from selecting the meeting times for your group as well as guidance in choosing the right marriage enrichment content for your group.

If you would like to form your own group, contact Kamber Schneider.

A new St. Louis Archdiocese Jubilant Marriages initiative, through the Office of Marriage & Family Life, was developed to strengthen Catholic couples through the power of Matrimonial Grace.
