Evangelization Retreat for Married Couples

October 24-25, 2026

Holy Spirit Catholic Church

11300 103rd St., Overland Park, KS

The Domestic Church Evangelization Retreat is for Catholic married couples who want to grow in holiness together as a couple and family.  It provides a renewed experience of marital spirituality and an introduction to Domestic Church formation.  Couples new to Domestic Church may choose to take advantage of continued formation after the retreat.

Evangelization is the first step in a real faith journey.  We must experience the reality of who Christ is, who we are, and what His love for us is capable of doing before we can make any real progress.  And, since Domestic Church provides for this journey to be undertaken in union with our spouses, we must experience Christ anew, together, before we can begin to grow together toward sainthood.  Come, receive the Good News, and stir up the grace of your Sacrament!  Sacramentally married couples interested in joining Domestic Church typically do so by attending an Evangelization Retreat as an introduction to formation.
