Marriage Enrichment Retreat
10-11 June 2o23
Camillian Pastoral Centre, Latkrabang, Bangkok

MER I

The Marriage Enrichment Retreat (MER) I is part of the first year formation program in CFC.  All couple members are
expected to take the MER.  MER I helps couples to understand and appreciate God’s plan for marriage and family life, encourage them to work together to fulfill God’s plan; discuss and identify areas where they can grow in their relationship and pray together for God's guidance and protection for their family. 

MER II

The Marriage Enrichment Retreat (MER) II is a follow-up retreat to those who already attended MER I.  It helps couples to further discover the meaning of marriage and how to further strengthen their relationship and family life.
