May 15-17, 2020 Called to Love retreat 

Location: The Bishop Robert Tracy Overnight Retreat Center at the Catholic Life Center of Baton Rouge. 1800 S. Acadian Thruway. Baton Rouge, LA 

Retreat times & Accommodations: The Called to Love weekend retreat begins on a Friday evening with check-in at 6:30 p.m. and the first session starting at 7 p.m. The retreat ends about noon after the mass on Sunday morning. In the retreat center you will be sharing a room with other Called to Love attendees, female with female and male with male in separate quarters in the Bishop Tracy overnight center. Each retreat room has a separate bathroom. (All linens <sheets, blanket, towels, washcloths> & hotel sized soap are furnished). Bring your own personal toiletries and a hair dryer, if you think you will need one, as these are not furnished in the rooms.  

Content & purpose:  The weekend retreat has a two fold purpose: a) to help the engaged couple deepen their relationship with God since they will need God's help to live out their marital covenant, and b) to strengthen their commitment in preparation for the celebration of the Sacrament of Marriage. The couple will meet these goals by reflecting on the readings, prayers and promises of the wedding ceremony to help them fully realize the nature of the commitment that God is calling them to make. 

Cost:  $260 per couple. This includes all meals, snacks and lodgings. Meals included are: Saturday--Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner, and breakfast on Sunday morning. (If there are any dietary restrictions, please let us know at least one week before your scheduled weekend). (There is no full meal served on Friday evening, so you may wish to eat before you arrive).
