The Beloved JY Couples Retreat in Philadelphia, held at Queen of Peace Church, was such a big blessing to our region!

We received a fresh perspective of what a Catholic marriage looks like, valuable insights into our marital life, and a deeper understanding of each other as individuals. A special word of thanks to Manoj Chettan and Beena Chechi for their inspiring commitment and willingness to be with us despite their poor health. Their personal experiences, testimonies, and honest sharing about their marriage were truly powerful and inspiring.

Kudos as well to the expecting mothers who showed such a deep desire to invest in their married life amidst their struggles. A heartfelt thank you to our beloved priests, Fr. Bitaju and Fr. John, for driving hours to accompany us through the weekend, and to all the volunteers who worked behind the scenes.

Finally, thanks be to Almighty God for all the blessings we received and will continue to receive through this retreat!
