Sharing Groups

Continuing the Journey

You’ve experienced a Weekend, now what?
Where can you turn for assistance and encouragement?
Perhaps your dialogue has gone stale?
What’s the next step?

Well, there is good news! The help and support you received during your weekend can continue through the Worldwide Marriage Encounter community.

Fortunately, in WWME we never walk alone. Like the church, we are called to grow together in our faith and support each other in our Sacrament.

In a recent meeting between our leadership and Cardinal Antonelli, President of the Pontifical Council for the Family, he spoke about evangelization, defining it as based on each person’s ability to meet Christ and transfer that experience to others. In the New Evangelization, the Gospel is transferred “through” people. He said that Christ calls us to be “one in the family”, pray, hear the word of Jesus and love each other beginning in the family and then network between families. Small groups of families are the real experience of the Church.

WWME offers small group settings where couples and families can be “one in the family”.

After your weekend, you are invited into the WWME Community. This Worldwide Marriage Encounter Community offers many events but, in particular, small group communities or “Sharing Groups” in your area where you can “Continue the Journey” and grow together in faith. Couples in these communities support each other in living out their sacrament of marriage by continuing to explore topics related to faith, marriage and family life.

Our larger community also offers events throughout the year that foster and enrich our marriages and relationships with each other. Belonging to a Worldwide Marriage Encounter Community is like having an extended family; people who genuinely care about you and are there to share your good times and walk with you during your troubled times.

Sharing Group Meetings

After attending a Worldwide Marriage Encounter Weekend, all are welcome and encouraged to join a sharing group.

Belonging to a Worldwide Marriage Encounter Community through Sharing Groups is like having an extended family; people who genuinely care about you and are there to share your good times and walk with you during your troubled times.

A Worldwide Marriage Encounter Sharing Groups is a group of couples that have experienced a Marriage Encounter Weekend. The groups meet regularly; a presentation is given followed by dialogue time and sharing. The sharing is optional; no one is required to share. The meeting usually includes prayer, socializing and delicious potluck food. Our sharing groups are organized geographically by deaneries. Feel free to contact a sharing group leader in any area to get involved.
