CHARLOTTE — St. Gabriel Catholic Church and Springs in the Desert are partnering to offer Cherished, a day-long retreat for couples experiencing the struggles of infertility. The retreat will be held Saturday, Oct. 21, at the parish Ministry Center.
All those interested must register by Saturday, Oct. 7. Participants are invited to join the Springs in the Desert team as they reflect on the emotional, relational and spiritual aspects of the infertility experience. The team will offer practical suggestions for strengthening your relationship with God and your spouse.
Infertility is a heavy burden most couples don’t expect to carry. It can affect your marriage, your relationship with family and friends, and your relationship with God. Come with your spouse or on your own for a time of prayer, healing, and friendship with others on this same path.
The day includes Mass, time for prayer in Eucharistic Adoration, and the opportunity to receive the sacrament of reconciliation.
