About Us

During the summer of 2010, Susan Rohr shared her inspiration to begin this special married couples ministry with her husband Greg along with Fr. Collin Poston - pastor of St. Bartholomew in Manchester MD -  and Fr. Brian Nolan - pastor of St. Ignatius of Loyola parish in Ijamsville MD. 

Together, after much prayer and planning, CHERISH was officially born on February 5, 2011 when our first retreat day was held at St. Mary's in Hagerstown MD. 

We humbly ask you to please pray for CHERISH and for God's grace and blessings on all married couples. ​
