CNMI Marriage Encounter Weekend

On Friday night, the CNMI ME Community came out in force to show their love and support to the 24 couples attending their Weekend Encounter at the Saipan Grand Hotel.

Father Isaac Ayuyu was the Presenting Priest, along with Mike and Jeanne Emry from California. Charles & Cathy Cepeda as the Ecclesial leaders, welcomed the Section 12 leaders to Saipan. This is their return trip to the Marianas.
Bishop Tomas A. Camacho speaks to all the new and encountered couples at the beginning of the Weekend. Jun & Linda Pangelinan did a fantastic job as the Coordinators!

Encountered Couples who are also Family:

JJ & Juanette Atalig, Peter & Natashia Tomokane, Dave & Nan Attao.

Perry & Leona Sablan and Evelyn & Newman Techur were some of the couples that helped throughout the Weekend.
