RETROUVAILLE

Mendota Hts, Minnesota

Our Mission

The Retrouvaille program is a peer-ministry of couples and priests who have experienced conflict and alienation in their relationships, and the graces of healing, forgiveness and mercy in their relationships through Retrouvaille. We are passionately committed to helping every troubled marriage of one man and one woman rediscover the loving relationship that first brought them together. Back in 2008, his Holiness, Benedict the 16th, gave an even simpler explanation. He said that Retrouvaille is the â€œcustodian of a bigger hope for the couples who have lost it.â€

Who We Are

The word Retrouvaille is French for REDISCOVER. Back in 1977, a couple in Quebec Canada realized that the marriage ministry that they worked in was having a difficult time helping the many couples who came to them with marriages that were already in difficult shape. They had a huge heart for helping those couples rediscover love and intimacy, and so they took what they knew and adapted it into a new program. Word of the program spread to Toronto, where it was translated into English. It is currently available in over 140 communities across 26 countries, 4 continents and 6 languages and it continues to spread around the world.
