Be Light: A Marriage Renewal Date Night Series Join top Marriage Champions from around the country for a 5 part marriage enrichment and renewal series. During this time of social isolation, our Domestic Church is in even greater need of relationship with God and others. This is our time as married couples to shine and be the light to those in our homes and communities. Register today and let your marriage BE LIGHT! The Date Night Series launches on Sunday April 26th and continues for 5 nights (April 26-30). Each date night will be available after 7pm CST. If your diocese or parish is participating in this Date Night Series we will share your email with them and they will invite you to a video chat with local couples in your area. You are encouraged to attend this virtual date night with couples you are friends with and discuss the follow up questions with them each night. Together we will explore various topics including belonging, expectations, the need for community, couples works of mercy and living as missionary disciples. We will dive deep into catechesis, marriage formation and evangelization as we grow closer to our beloved and in relationship with God. This series is designed to meet the needs of couples who want to use the challenge of social distancing to grow closer to each other and build relationships with other couples. Each date night will include a video from a dynamic couple, reflection questions and recommended resources. The feel will be a combination of date night/parish mission/retreat/small group. Take this time to renew your marriage and build new relationships with other couples!

Gospel Today | Third Sunday of Easter | Luke 24: 13-35
The risen Jesus walked to Emmaus with two disciples, but they did not recognize
Him. At the evening meal, Jesus blessed bread, broke it, and disappeared. At once
the disciples knew in their hearts it was Jesus.
