MARRIED COUPLES: ‘Teams’ is a movement which helps married people develop couple spirituality through practices compatible with the busy lives they lead today. A team consists of about five couples who gather monthly in each other’s homes for a simple meal, prayer and discussion. Where possible, the inclusion of a priest or religious is mutually beneficial. Each team is a small Christian community in which the members support each other in living out their Christian values. ‘Teams’ provides the opportunity for couples to find balance in their lives for personal growth, growth as a couple and mutual support among couples.
