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. Mary's in Hagerstown MD - and Fr. Brian Nolan - chaplain at nearby Mount St. Mary's University. 

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. 

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