Welcome

Congratulations on your engagement, and welcome to the Catholic Engaged Encounter of St. Paul and Minneapolis! Our community has been serving the St. Paul and Minneapolis area for over 50 years. Most of the couples that attend our marriage prep weekends are Catholic and live in the St. Paul and Minneapolis area, however, we warmly welcome engaged couples that are Catholic, non-Catholic, from other denominations and/or no church or religious affiliation.  Please know that we present the weekend from a Catholic perspective.  We also welcome couples from outside the area that need to complete a marriage prep program, we have even had couples attend from out of state!  Please let us know if you have any questions by using our “Contact Us’ page.  We look forward to serving you.

Our Community

Our community currently hosts 4 weekends per year, and has 7 team couples that volunteer their time to share the gift of marriage with engaged couples. We are also very blessed and thankful to have 2 priests and 2 deacons that serve our program. Our weekends consist of two presenting teams and one priest, and are typically held at Christ the King Retreat Center in Buffalo, MN.
