On Sunday, September 25, 2016, the Evangelization Team from Our Lady of Grace Parish in Noblesville sponsored a one-day retreat in Spanish for Couples. Thirty couples from Our Lady of Grace and Parishes in Anderson, Lebanon, Logansport and Indianapolis attended the retreat. Father Manuel Becerra, Colombian native from the Diocese in Portland, Oregon presented very interesting topics about marriage. Father Becerra is the director and founder of “Encuentros de Cristo” (Encounters with Christ) and has vast experience as a marriage counselor. The retreat began at 8 am and ended with a Mass celebrated at 4 pm. The retreat was very well received and the couples left with a strong desire to learn more. The Evangelization Team hopes to continue offering support to our Hispanic Community.
