Heading off to college is both exhilarating and scary! Will anyone talk to me? How will I manage my time? What if I don’t like it? Am I the only one who feels alone? Join us for a lively and honest roundtable discussion on “What I Wish I Knew Before I Went to College.” Led by Kevin Bernaga and Maleny Quiroz Hernandez, both recent college grads, the roundtable will cover fears and anxieties of going to college, time management, procrastination, coping tools, and the joy of faith and the faith community in helping college students find their way in a new academic home.

Rediscover Your Marriage – Retrouvaille (pronounced retro-vi with a long i) simply means ‘rediscovery’. The program offers the chance to rediscover yourself, your spouse, and a loving relationship in your marriage. 10’s of 1000’s headed for divorce have successfully saved their marriages by attending. Retrouvaille is a not spiritual retreat, not a sensitivity group, not a seminar, not a social gathering.
