Married Couples Retreat:

Seasons of the Heart

 

Friday - Sunday, November 13-15, 2026

Cannon Beach Conference Center

 

Join us this fall at the beautiful Oregon coast for Sacred Path: Seasons of the Heart – A Retreat Weekend for married couples – to reflect on our individual relationships with God, and our marriage vocation. Our daily lives as couples are filled with personal and family needs while keeping up with busy schedules. Sacred Path offers time to share and reflect on our most important relationship and spiritual life in Christ.


Led by Tom and Kimi Tomaszek, co‐directors of The Five Loaves Apostolate and Our Lady of the Lake staff members, and Fr. Charles Zach as  Spiritual Director, this weekend retreat includes engaging presentations, prayer, personal reflection time as a couple, and group fellowship. We will celebrate Sunday Mass, a Nuptial Blessing, have opportunity for individual confession, and special time to explore lovely Cannon Beach during the weekend.


The Retreat Fee is $495 per couple which includes two dinners, two breakfasts, retreat fees and two nights housing at the beautiful Cannon Beach Christian Conference Center. Each couple has a private room and bath. The retreat begins Friday, November 13 at 4 PM and ends Sunday the 15th at Noon. For information contact Tom Tomaszek, tomt@ollparish.com or 503‐636‐7687.
