Community Mission Statement
A Worldwide Marriage Encounter Community’s
mission is to support and encourage encountered couples and priests
to
live fully intimate, responsible relationships and assisting the
Worldwide Marriage Encounter movement
in renewal in the Church and
change in the world.
Community is a monthly gathering that provides
support of sacramental spirituality through presentations,
dialogue,
prayer, journeying with others with similar values and reevaluation.
Community provides enthusiastic support for the Weekend by being focused
on the values
and purpose of Worldwide Marriage Encounter.
Through Community we hear and act on the final instruction:
“Go forth to Love & Serve”
