Diocese of Cleveland - Marriage and Family Ministry

11/20/2025

Join us on Friday, December 6th for our annual Advent Retreat Day for Pastoral Care Ministry: a time of rest, reflection, and renewal for clergy, parish staff, ministry leaders, and all who accompany others through seasons of grief and healing.

Together we will explore the seasons of the Christian journey, the practice of spiritual disciplines, and the many ways the Spirit of God moves in our lives. The day will include times of teaching, personal reflection, and small group conversation, offering space for spiritual growth, renewal, and companionship.

Our retreat guide will be Ty Morgan, educator, counselor, and spiritual director with Cornerstone of Hope. Ty brings years of experience walking with individuals and groups in their healing journey, and a deep passion for helping others discover God’s presence and hope.

Prayer for Married Couples
Almighty and eternal God,
You blessed the union of married couples
so that they might reflect the union of Christ
with his Church:
look with kindness on them.
Renew their marriage covenant,
increase your love in them,
and strengthen their bond of peace
so that, with their children,
they may always rejoice in the gift of
your blessing.
We ask this through Christ our Lord.
Amen.
