The Oakland area of Worldwide Marriage Encounter serves the Catholic Diocese of Oakland, which includes the counties of Alameda and Contra Costa. For other areas, click on the "Schedule" menu item for that area.
If you are interested in attending a Marriage Encounter Weekend, we suggest that you view the information and the video on the "Information" tab, then return here to pre-register for a Marriage Encounter Weekend. We ask all couples (both husband and wife), prior to going on a Marriage Encounter Weekend, to attend some form of information talk to provide you additional information about the Weekend. There is information below the Weekend Dates section that provides special information events.
Worldwide Marriage Encounter’s Mission of renewal in the church and change in the world is to assist couples and priests to live fully intimate and responsible relationships by providing them with a Catholic “experience” and ongoing community support for such a lifestyle.
