We're here to help, and to encourage healing through the Sacraments where you'll personally encounter Christ—with all His love and tender mercies. And that's the REALLY good news. St. Lucie Catholic Church in Port St. Lucie will be hosting a new session of the Divorce Survival Guide Ministry starting in February. Our program features the powerful and inspiring real-life stories of civilly divorced Catholic men and women who found help in the Church. This DVD-based program with leader support offers the truth about love, marriage, divorce, & recovery from a faithfully Catholic perspective. For more information and to register, call Loretta Barnes at 772-878-1215. **Please note: There is PDF for this announcement in the PDF announcement file *** Celebrate World Marriage Day in February World Marriage Day is celebrated annually on the second Sunday of February to honor husbands and wives as the foundation of the family, the basic unit of society. It salutes the beauty of their faithfulness, sacrifice and joy in daily married life. This year World Marriage Day is February 14. The diocese invites married couples to celebrate the gift of each other in these following simple ways: Learn more at wmd.wwme.org Attend Mass together. Sit together and look at your courtship and wedding pictures. Tell your children how you met and fell in love. Tell your spouse what you most appreciate in him/her after you say “I Love You”. Give each other a back and foot massage. Make his or her favorite meal or dessert and eat by candlelight. Write your spouse a love letter telling how much your marriage means to you.
