How Be Light small groups are impacting couples.

Witness to Love re-enforced that the sacrament of marriage is a gift of unending grace that helps to sustain our marriage. Young couples need to know the truth about their faith and marriage. Witness to Love presents this truth through real people and their stories as well as the mentors' stories.

Mentor Couple Gaynal and Ann, Lafayette, La

Witness to Love is not only a positive experience for engaged couples but as a result was a positive experience for us as a married couple. Our church community has brought us closer in general as a couple.

Mentor Couple Christine and Steve, Kansas City, KS

We love getting to know the families in our parish, and feel like the more that we can do to strengthen marriages that our children see, the more likely they are to pursue healthy Christian relationships and marriages themselves. We are blessed to have taken part in nurturing these relationships through Witness to Love, so that they can be that example to the families in our parish community.

About Be Light

This marriage movement not only supports newly married couples during the fundamental first five years of their marriage but also helps all married couples in a community to open their hearts to the powerful way God remains present to them and in the Holy bond of Matrimony.

Be Light Small Groups provide an intentional pathway to continue the journey as a newly married couple with your chosen mentors and invite other couples to be part of the experience.
