Our movement has almost 21 years of bringing the Gospel to marriages of the Spanish Community in Calgary, impacting their families directly. Currently, we count 96 couples throughout Calgary, working together in order to solidify the domestic church.
Mission
The Spousal Encounter Movement (MEC Calgary), having as a role model the Nazareth Family, seeks through the doctrinal foundations of the Holy Catholic Church to unify, enrich, and improve the life of the Hispanic families settled in Calgary.
