Couples Group

The Grupo de Parejas (Couples Group) of Mission Santa Inés has been serving with love and commitment for over 20 years, supporting couples in our community. Through marriage retreats, weekly sessions, and pre-marital counseling, we seek to strengthen the bonds of marriage and help husbands and wives, as well as engaged couples, grow together in faith and the love of God.

In our weekly meetings on Saturdays, couples learn to grow spiritually and emotionally, striving to achieve the unity and marital stability that only the Lord can offer. We also provide spiritual support to couples experiencing difficulties, offering encouragement, guidance, and a community environment where they can share, pray, and renew their hope. When necessary, we refer couples to appropriate resources.

In addition to our marriage ministry, we actively participate in the liturgical celebrations of the Mission as ushers, ministers, and choir members, contributing joyfully to the strengthening of our parish community.

Our general meetings are held on Saturdays at 5:00 p.m., followed by the program's weekly session and culminating with attendance at the 7:00 p.m. Mass. Our doors are always open to all couples who wish to strengthen their relationship, receive support, or begin their journey of preparation for the sacrament of marriage.

We have the support of our priests and the entire pastoral team of our parish.
