Forever Love: Mary-Rose and Ryan Verret
A movement starts with a movement … by the Holy Spirit. Mary-Rose and Ryan Verret saw the decline of marriages all around them and decided they wanted to do something about it. With fervent prayer and steadfast obedience, they founded Witness to Love, a marriage movement that has changed countless lives and transformed marriages around the world.
After speaking at the World Meeting of Families in Rome in 2022, they had a dream to have a summit where marriage experts from around North America could brainstorm ways to better serve couples in their marriage preparation process. With the help of thoughtful donors, like the Scanlan Foundation, their dream became a reality.
