About Us

 

     As executive director of The Good News Foundation, I welcome you and hope we can be of assistance to you, whether you're looking for a marriage and family relationship program or conference space for your next retreat. The Good News is proud to be a part of our community, carrying out our mission of sharing the love of Jesus Christ through hospitality, spiritual renewal and support of parish and family life. 

     We are at an exciting time of growth, striving to offer programs for spiritual renewal and programs that help support and strengthen marriages and families.  A critical need of our time, we believe that strengthening and nurturing the family is important in today's world and for many, keeping the family in tact is no easy task. That's why we are excited to provide couples with a place to turn for guidance.  On a daily basis, we hear the struggles of couples as they reach out for help in their marriages. Moreover, we see the positive changes that take place in these struggling relationships as a result of the programs we offer.

     On behalf of our Board of Directors, Staff and Volunteers, I welcome you and invite you to become familiar with the outstanding programs we offer here at The Good News Center.
