Duc in Altum
The Duc in Altum – Into the Deep marriage retreat in Winona, MN February 28th to March 2nd was an incredibly blessed weekend! 34 couples came from 12 different dioceses to spend time soaking their marriage in God’s grace and merciful love for the weekend, going into the deep with Christ!
Peter & Theresa Martin led an engaging, entertaining, and heartfelt retreat that elevated couples' idea of marriage and then gave them time together and time with God.
Bishop Robert Barron celebrated Mass on Saturday and gave a compelling homily on the beautiful balance of marriage and family life and that children ought to be welcome with open arms!
Fr. Jason Kern celebrated Mass on Sunday and encouraged couples to truly and radically conform their hearts and their marriages to Christ.
Couples left with their hearts full and their love expanded. Here's what they had to say in their own words:
