Presenters for the Married Couples Retreats

We are pleased to announce that Pat and Terri O’Hara will be serving as the principal presenters for our Married Couples Retreats. The theme for the Married Couples Retreats will be Our Journey With Jesus, and will focus on the spirituality of marriage.

Pat & Terri O’Hara propose that married couples are blessed with a unique opportunity to experience the presence of Jesus in their marriage in a most intimate and joyous way. They believe that learning to recognize and draw from that Presence will strengthen a marriage.Nationally known in their ministry to the sacraments of Matrimony and Holy Order for over 25 years, Pat and Terri are excited to bring their playful and passionate view of marriage and spirituality to married couples at Franciscan Retreat Center.
