Sponsored
by Hispanic Family Ministries, of the Family Ministries
Office, Archdiocese of Chicago.
The program for marriages, Alpha and Omega, offered in
Spanish, attempts to respond to the needs of marriages and
families, especially in the area of intra-family abuse.
However, it is a program that can help any couple, whether or
not they have problems. By means of the Alpha and Omega
program, the Church attempts to say "welcome" to all
the families and marriages in the Hispanic community that can
benefit from it. This program consists of two principle parts:
a retreat and follow-up meetings. Retreats are offered several
weekends a year, and couples are encouraged to attend follow-up
meetings.
