Archbishop’s Message For The New Year 2024



Weekend Getaway Marriage Conference

Friday Feb 16 - Sunday Feb 18, 2024 | Victoria, BC

We are excited to partner with Family Life Canada to offer weekend getaways to married couples in the Archdiocese of Vancouver!


The Weekend Getaway is a marriage conference uniquely designed to enrich your relationship. For most couples, it’s a chance to reconnect, re-establish the foundation, and rekindle romance. For others, it’s a fresh start. For some, it will be the weekend that saves a marriage. Wherever you’re at in your relationship, this retreat is a weekend to remember.


The next getaway is on the weekend of February 16-18, 2024 at the Fairmont Empress in Victoria, BC. The fee is usually $299. Use promo code RCAVVIC to register for $199.


Accommodations at the Fairmont Empress Victoria for conference participants should be booked separately. Special room rate starts at $209/night before January 26; rates may vary thereafter.


The registration deadline is Wednesday, February 14, 2024.
