TEams of our lady
A team is comprised of five to seven couples whose marriage is recognized in the eyes of the Catholic Church. The team meets one time per month, rotating from one home to another. If a couple’s home cannot accommodate the entire team, the group can meet in a church meeting room or outside, if possible.
Teams of Our Lady
is an international
lay Catholic movement
to enrich marriage spirituality and make good marriages better.
It offers married couples a pathway toward love, happiness and holiness, helping them live fully their Sacrament of Marriage.
“Teams of Our Lady have as their essential aim, to help couples strive after holiness—no more, no less.”
~Fr. Henri Caffarel, founder of the Teams of Our Lady
Some teams might have a spiritual counselor or Priest Spiritual Counselor as part of their team. The Priest Spiritual Counselor comes to the meeting to provide his theological knowledge and expertise. The team shares a simple meal, prayer, sharing on the endeavors, and a study topic. The endeavors are the heart of the spirit of Teams. The team becomes a close community that can inspire one another through their living examples of faith, and share with one another their struggles and successes on their way to holiness.
Couples from all stages of life (newly married, child rearing and empty nesters) can be part of Teams. It is not parish based, but it is advisable for couples to live in the same geographic vicinity. Since this is a lay association, lay couples hold all positions of responsibility

WORLD WIDE MARRIAGE ENCOUNTER
The Worldwide Marriage Encounter Weekend is a positive and personal experience offering married couples and priests the opportunity to learn a technique of loving communication that they can use for the rest of their lives. It is a chance to look deeply into their relationship with each other and with God. It is a time to share their feelings, hopes and dreams.
The emphasis of the Worldwide Marriage Encounter Weekend is on communication. The weekend provides a conducive environment for couples and priests to spend time, away from the distractions and tensions of everyday life, while encouraging them to focus on each other and their vocation. -
