About Together in Holiness

Where Spouses Discover God’s Plan for Their Family
Together in Holiness is a marriage conference series for dioceses that inspires spouses to grow together in holiness and empowers parents to form their children in the Catholic faith. To learn more about the Together in Holiness marriage enrichment initiative, click here.
  • "We love attending Together in Holiness every year! No matter how many times we’ve been to the conference, we always walk away with new things to ponder personally and as a couple to enrich our marriage and family life. Especially now that we have children, it is a great reminder for us to prioritize our marriage and not forget to pour into one another."
