Married Couples Retreat

Sacred Path: God's Love is Everlasting

November 14-16, 2025

Cannon Beach Conference Center

Join us next fall at the beautiful Oregon coast for Sacred Path: God’s Love Is Everlasting – A Retreat Weekend for married couples – to reflect on our individual relationships with God, and in our marriage as we walk the sacred path of our lives. Our daily lives as couples are filled with taking care of personal and family needs and keeping up with busy schedules. We rarely have time to share and reflect together on our most important relationship and our spiritual life.

Led by Tom and Kimi Tomaszek, co‐directors of The Five Loaves Apostolate and Our Lady of the Lake staff members, and a Spiritual Director, this weekend retreat includes engaging presentations, prayer, personal reflection time and 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 14 at 4 PM and ends Sunday the 16th at Noon. For information contact Tom Tomaszek, tomt@ollparish.com or 503‐636‐7687.
