On a recent episode of Faith & Marriage Today, Jim Bertrand joins us to talk about the beautiful blending of faith and reason found in the Shroud of Turin. 🌟

Jim explains, "Reason can take us so far on things that can be quantified. But the supernatural realities require faith. The shroud gives people a taste of something that really sticks with them, whether they are devout or atheist." πŸ—£οΈ

Jim shares the factual evidence, the scientific studies, and the heartfelt stories of conversion that have come from this sacred cloth. It is a powerful reminder that Jesus is real, His love is real, and He is calling us closer. ❀️

On the most recent episode of Faith & Marriage Today, Sean Harrison joins us to discuss the return of Abby Youth Fest. πŸŽ‰

For 20 years, this festival has been a place of joy, prayer, and encounter. It exposes young people to the beautiful, contemplative tradition of the Benedictine monastery. It is not just a festival. It is a chance for your teens to be Made New. ✨

Sean says, "We have to have these things for our kids. This is a breakthrough moment." πŸ—£οΈ

Our youth are hungry for something real, and this is the mountaintop experience they have been craving. πŸ™

Watch the full episode to hear the heart behind the event, the glory stories, and how you can get your youth group involved. Mark your calendars for April 10, 2027! πŸ“…

Still thinking about this night! 🎳❀️

Relive the best moments from the 17th Annual Supper & Substance. Thank you to everyone who came out and made it so special. The food, the music, the bowling, and the connections between couples. That is what it is all about.

If you missed it, do not worry. We are already looking ahead to next year. Stay tuned!

When marriage walks through grief, it can either isolate us or draw us closer. If you or your spouse are carrying the weight of loss, whether it's the death of a loved one, a shattered dream, or a season of suffering, you don't have to carry it alone.

We are grateful to share two upcoming retreats at St. Joseph Abbey designed specifically for times like these.

πŸ•ŠοΈ The Road to Emmaus Grief Retreat | August 28–30
For men, women, and couples recovering from loss. Conferences by Jewell Bayhi, with prayer, reflection, and reconciliation.

πŸ™ The Mystery of Redemptive Suffering Retreat | September 4–6
For all who suffer, offering hope and direction. Conferences by Fr. Jeffery Montz, with spiritual direction and prayer.

These weekends are sacred spaces to breathe, to connect with others who understand, and to encounter God's healing grace.

If this speaks to your heart, we invite you to learn more. And if not for you, would you share this with someone who needs it? πŸ’›

We are praying for all who attend.

⏳ One Week Away. Do Not Miss This.

Where can you and your spouse go for bowling, dancing, great food, and a faith-filled message all in one night? Mid-City Rock'n'Bowl, that is where.

Next Friday, July 24, we are back for our 17th annual Supper & Substance. Eric and Nicole Cedor will speak, The Peyton Falgoust Band will play, and the lanes are waiting.
