Financial Aid Application

We understand that weddings are a significant milestone, and we recognize the financial commitments that come with preparing for and celebrating the Sacrament of Holy Matrimony. Our hope is that every couple can attend an Engaged Encounter retreat, regardless of their financial situation.

If you need financial assistance, please follow these steps:

1. Submit a financial aid application.
2. Speak with your priest about your situation and ask them to call our Engaged Encounter team at (209) 645-0267.

We ask couples seeking financial assistance to speak with their priest for two important reasons:

• Financial aid is intended for couples who are truly struggling to afford daily essentials. If paying the full $200 fee for a Catholic Engaged Encounter of Stockton, Inc. retreat would create a financial hardship, we want to ensure that assistance goes to those who need it most.
• This conversation also allows parishes to better understand and support couples in their community, potentially offering additional assistance beyond the retreat weekend.

Please complete the financial aid application in full for consideration. We appreciate your time, and we look forward to supporting you on your journey toward marriage.
