What is New Life? Stella Maris Center is proud to support New Life, a peer ministry retreat program of couples who have the family life experience of having lost a spouse though death or divorce.   Preparing for marriage for couples where one or both have lost a spouse is unique.  The New Life team knows what individuals and couples who have experienced this loss go through as they rebuild and rediscover new relationships.   There are particular challenges in marrying again that the New Life remarriage program addresses like no other program can.  Even topics common to all couples, such as conflict resolution and finances, take on a new perspective through the lens of remarriage.

Who is New Life for?  New Life is a program that was created by Catholics for Catholics, however, the principles covered in the program are universal in nature and based on current social science in the realm of remarriage.  Any couple who is preparing to embark on the lifelong journey of Holy Matrimony, such as:

• Couples who are a widowed, or divorced (with a Catholic Church Annulment),  
• Couples formally preparing for remarriage
•  Couples already remarried (enrichment)
•  Couples exploring the possibility of remarriage
•  Blending families –young or adult children
•  Single parents with children  formally preparing for marriage in the Catholic Church
• It is also for Remarried couples looking to become facilitator couples and join the New Life team.

The New Life remarriage retreat satisfies the basic formation requirements (primary program) for preparation for the Sacrament of Matrimony, when working with a parish.
Stella Maris Center is proud to announce the New Life Retreat for Remarriage is now also a TwoGether in Texas program!!   When couples attend a New Life Retreat they will not only receive a certificate of participation for the program, they will also receive a TwoGether in Texas Certificate which shows the couple attended a State of Texas qualified marriage education program.  Couples present their TwoGether in Texas Certificate at the time of applying for their marriage license for a $60 discount. The normal 72 hr. waiting period is also waived.
