WWME – New Orleans/Gulflake Community
WWME Circle Mission Statement
A WorldWide Marriage Encounter Circle’s Mission is to focus encountered couple/priests in the renewal of the church and to support and encourage fully intimate, responsible relationships for them.
Circle provides support of sacramental spirituality through prayer, presentation, daily dialogue, sexuality, and open & honest communication.
Circle provides enthusiastic support for the Weekend and commitment to a monthly gathering of encountered couples/priests that remains focused on the values and purpose of WorldWide Marriage Encounter.
Circle is designed for those who have shared the weekend experience so that they may help to develop and strengthen our Marriage Encounter Community.
Through Circle we hear and act on the final instruction: “Go forth to Love & Serve”.
