A simple, 3-step plan for
deep and meaningful connection.
What would your marriage be like
if you could talk to your spouse about anything?
There is a longing for deeper connection, even in faithful, Catholic marriages.
Distance, loneliness, negativity, criticism, and arguments are all too common.
If you experience these or similar challenges, you are not alone!
With the realities and responsibilities of daily life, raising kids, balancing work and home...
The connection that brought you together in the first place is hard to find.
Maybe it's hard to find time for each other. And when you do, it's hard to have meaningful conversations.
No matter where you are in your marriage, here’s the good news we want to share with you:
The transformative power of God’s grace is always there for you!
And you can learn how to invite God into your marriage and build deeper connection with each other with our Cana Feast Library.
Let us tell you our story
That time when we hit a low point and then found God in a big way in our marriage
and then tried to share it with our parish.
About 10 years into our own marriage, we hit a low point.
We were:
- 💲 Stressed about money 😧
- ⚡ Dealing with a divorce and a death in our extended family
- ❌ Struggling to find stability after moving across the country with young kids
Our marriage was cold and distant-except when we flared into a fight!
Sarah signed us up for a marriage retreat at a neighboring parish, and it was AMAZING!
Our marriage was transformed by the faithful, practical skills we learned.
❤️ 🥰 ❤️
We felt a deep desire to share what we learned with our home parish.
So we rolled up our sleeves!
- We scheduled the parish hall.
- We lined up other couples to help us.
- We got food and we even lined up the coffee pots to make sure everyone could pay attention during the morning sessions! ☕☕
Then we announced it the parish and invited couples to the retreat.
That's when we heard a lot of this:
"I'd love to! But....
- ...my husband works that weekend.
- ...my daughter has a tournament then.
- ...we can't get child care.
The couples who needed it the most
were the ones who were
least able to attend!
We thought, there's go to be a better way!
Instead of a weekend-long, in-person retreat, we created a monthly membership and recorded at-home, on-demand mini-retreats! Each mini-retreat is like one session of an in-person retreat.
Couples no longer needed child care, a free weekend, or a nearby retreat because our Monthly Mini Retreats were on-line and on-demand. We connected with Catholics from across the country and around the world!
After almost four years, we closed the monthly membership, and we put everything we made during that time into the all-new Cana Feast Retreat Library.
You can now access EVERYTHING we made over those four years
for a fraction of the price in the Cana Feast Retreat Library!

Hello! We are Nathan and Sarah
Married 24 years, parents of 5 kids ages 5-21, leaders in Catholic marriage ministry
We know what it's like to feel overwhelmed, exhausted, alone, and resentful trying to keep up with the house, the kids, the job, and all the things.
We also know what it's like to reconnect and turn it all around.
We see the mystery of the Wedding at Cana unfold in our own life, as Jesus' grace touches and transforms our sacramental marriage into a source of abundantly flowing joy, peace, and love.
We are dedicated to helping other married couples embrace the joy, peace and grace that God wants to give them in their marriage.
Frequently Asked Questions
Where does the name "Cana Feast" come from ?
In the second chapter of the Gospel of John, we read about the wedding at Cana.
While attending and celebrating at the wedding, Jesus' mother, Mary, noticed that the feast had run out of wine. At her urging, Jesus performed his first public miracle and changed approximately 300 gallons of water into the wine!
Has your marriage run out of wine?
We founded our Cana Feast ministry on a few firm beliefs:
- That marriage gets better with age! ("You have saved the best for last!")
- That God's grace in marriage is extravagantly abundant ("9 jars each holding 30-40 gallons!")
- That our Blessed Mother's intercession is powerful and real ("they have no more wine")
We find so much hope, consolation, and joy in reading the story of the wedding at Cana, that we named our ministry Cana Feast. It's a reminder that when Jesus and his mother Mary are present, our marriage should be as joyful and abundant as the feast at that wedding at Cana.
What if my spouse doesn't want to participate ?
This can still work! And maybe it's just what your marriage needs. One of the fundamental principles of the program is that you can't change someone else. (Okay, that's just a principle of life in general!)
Even if your spouse doesn't want to actively participate, you will learn simple and effective ways that you can change. And when you change yourself for the better, you change your relationship for the better.
So please be encouraged that you can improve your relationship and join us inside!
I'm not Catholic / not Christian. Will I be comfortable in this program ?
Please know that we love and appreciate you, and that you are welcome here just as you are!
We're not out to convert you or judge you. We're out to help you grow in your relationship with your spouse! In this program, we will discuss Catholic teachings and the Catholic understanding of marriage and family life. We encourage you to approach the content in Cana Feast with an open mind.
Imagine that you were invited to a wedding in a culture you aren't familiar with. You would certainly recognize some things: a bride, a groom, a vow: But there would undoubtedly be many symbols or rituals that would be new to you. Now imagine that your friend who invited you leans over and explains all the different symbolism and meaning. Sure you might not adopt that culture as your own, but you would certainly have a deeper appreciation for it. It would become less mysterious and more understandable. Let Cana Feast be your friend, explaining our understanding of marriage and family life.
We also combine our Catholic understanding of marriage with research-based skills and insights. Those practical relationship skills will help anyone!
What if we are engaged?
🎉 🎉 Congratulations! 🎉 🎉
We are so happy for you! We have worked with hundreds of engaged couples to prepare them for the sacrament of marriage. The fact that you are even considering Cana Feast while you are still engaged is a sign that you take your future marriage seriously and will work to make it strong and faithful!
You will find that our virtual retreats are very beneficial in your time of preparation for your marriage. And it will help you build healthy habits that will serve your marriage well for years!
Please be sure to check with your local parish or diocese to ensure that you fulfill the marriage preparation requirements set forth by them.
