Speakers at the session were Pat and
Alicia Hanavan, of Sacred Heart Parish,
Warner Robins. The couple told of their
experience with “Marriage Encounter”
and of the effect it had upon their lives
and their search, as a husband and wife,
for God.
Pat said, “Our goal, each day, is to
increase our closeness as husband and
wife. We want to make marriage so
present, so vibrant, so alive in the midst
of the community of believers we call
Church, that it is irresistibly attractive.
