Tobit Weekend prepares couples for marriage

By Mary Ann Wyand

The late Franciscan Father Martin Wolter founded the Tobit Weekend, a Christian marriage preparation program, in the Archdiocese of Indianapolis in 1976.

During three decades, thousands of engaged couples have benefited from this retreat opportunity to enter into a deeper personal relationship with Christ and realize the importance of having God at the center of their marital relationship.

The love story of God guiding Tobiah’s and Sarah into a happy marriage is the basis for the weekend. Christian team couples and a priest conduct the marriage presentations.

Tobit Weekends are held at Our Lady of Fatima Retreat House, 5353 E. 56th St., in Indianapolis. This year, Tobit Weekends are scheduled on April 13-15, May 18-20, June 15-17, July 20-22, Sept. 14-16 and Nov. 2-4.
