An Evening to Nourish Your Marriage

Give your marriage the gift of an evening centered on faith, prayer, and one another.

Join Marriages of Grace on Friday, August 21, for a memorable evening featuring a delicious full sit-down dinner and an inspiring presentation by our special guest, Bishop Michael G. Woost.

The Liturgy of the Hours as the Prayer of Spouses

On Ash Wednesday 2027, the Catholic Church in the United States will begin using the first new English translation of the Liturgy of the Hours in more than fifty years. This historic moment offers married couples a unique opportunity to discover (or rediscover) the Church's daily prayer.

What if just a few minutes of prayer together each day could deepen your friendship, strengthen your unity, and draw your marriage closer to Christ?

Bishop Woost will explore how the Liturgy of the Hours is not only the official prayer of the Church, but also a beautiful and practical way for husbands and wives to pray together. Whether you have never opened the Liturgy of the Hours or have prayed it for years, you'll leave with a deeper appreciation for this timeless treasure and practical ways to incorporate it into your married life.

Enjoy an elegant dinner, meaningful conversation with other couples, and an evening that will encourage and inspire your vocation to marriage.

Reserve your place today and join us for an unforgettable evening of faith, fellowship, and renewal. We look forward to welcoming you!

A native of Cleveland, Bishop Woost graduated from St. Ignatius High School and attended Borromeo and Saint Mary Seminaries. He was ordained to the priesthood for service in the Diocese of Cleveland in 1984. After ordination, he was assigned as parochial vicar at Immaculate Conception Parish in Madison, where he served until being appointed to the diocesan Vocation Office, where he co-directed from 1988-1995.  Bishop Woost then began graduate studies at the Catholic University of America.  After earning a licentiate in sacred theology in 2000, he joined the faculty at Saint Mary Seminary and Graduate School of theology, where he still teaches sacramental-liturgical theology.

Two of Bishop Woost’s brothers, Father Dave Woost and Father Tom Woost, are priests who also serve as parish pastors in the Diocese of Cleveland. His brother, Jon was ordained to the permanent diaconate this past May for the Diocese of Cleveland.

Bishop Woost was appointed auxiliary bishop of Cleveland by Pope Francis on August 4, 2022.
