What is Building Amazing Marriages (BAM)?
Navigating life with your best friend is fantastic and challenging. Building Amazing Marriages (BAM) supports marriages by hosting events that enrich our marriages and our family lives. Past events have included date nights like Oktoberfest, Casino Night, Tacos and Trivia, and Celebrate Marriage Dinner. We have also hosted evening book review workshops, full day marriage enrichment seminars, and marriage and parenting series. If you are married or engaged, you are part of Building Amazing Marriages at Our Lady of Grace! See you at our next event. If you are interested in being more intentional about your marriage, look into the marriage enrichment opportunities we have coming up!
