CoupleS Date Nights

Couple Date Nights are typically parish-based ministries to provide enrichment for married couples and engaged couples. The regular (often, monthly) gatherings of couples provide the opportunity for a couple to get away and spend time with other couples and each other. Often, date nights include a meal, some formational content on marriage (such as a presentation or video), socializing and discussion with other couples, one-on-one time, and prayer. Below is a sample schedule of a typical date night.
