Springfield (MA) area share group - (New) Section 20
 
This share group formed seven years ago with three couples who had been on the same WWME weekend.  They have wholeheartedly received newly encountered couples off of WWME weekends since, doubling their size, in a region of the state which has seen a decline in active share groups.  They most recently supported the World Marriage Day TV mass, Chalice of Salvation, in the Springfield diocese.  They courageously share their beautiful dialogue letters before sharing the fruits of their verbal dialogue to encourage one another in their dialoguing lifestyle. Their contagious good humor as a group is gentle, welcoming and a LOT of FUN! They are creative in celebrating their marriages with couple fun like camping and pool parties...always with a dialogue question.  They regularly volunteer as a group to support the Toys for Tots program each year.  They have truly embraced and expanded the mission of WWME to change the world through the power of their love!
 
Bridgewater (MA) Share Group - (New) Section 20
 
The Spirit is truly alive in the Bridgewater area!  The Bridgewater, MA share group was more recently formed when 12 couples were invited by Fr. Carlos Kim from his parish of St. Thomas Aquinas to come on the WWME weekend he was presenting.  They all took him up on his offer!  After the weekend they formed a vibrant sharing group which has almost tripled in size!  These lovers accomplished this by enthusiastically serving as prayer couples drawing their special assigned couple into their group after the WWME weekend. They have also hosted WWME enrichments and inviting events like romance evenings.  As individual sacraments, these couples remain heavily involved in their parish activities as well.  They are truly "living their love large" for the sake of God's church!

The Stellar Community of Chadds Ford, PA - Section 3
 
The Chadds Ford Worldwide Marriage Encounter Community of Chadds Ford, Pa is rooted in a long history of love.  Established in the early 70's, the group currently has membership of 20+ active couples and a priest.  It is diverse in age, length of marriage and years of involvement in the movement.  Involvement ranges from 1 to 35 years.
 
We call our monthly gatherings "Image" because we see it as an image of our original Marriage Encounter Weekend.  The structure of the evening involves a workshopped presentation, dialogue, sharing, sharing of Marriage Encounter business and news followed by a social conclusion. 
 
We believe that the group has remained strong because of its consistent commitment to the principles of "FAMIS".  That commitment is exemplified in many ways.
 
Fun is a constant.  Just being together brings joy to our hearts.  Some of the FUN activities we enjoy are:
