Running Maison Massabielle, the Teams of Our Lady
Founded in 1938 by Father Caffarel and 4 couples wishing to live all the riches of their sacrament of marriage, the Teams of Our Lady is a Christian movement of more than 70,000 married couples, gathered in 14,000 teams, in 70 countries.
The Teams of Our Lady is a movement that brings together married couples who desire to fully live the riches of their sacrament of marriage.
Taking a spiritual retreat as a couple near Paris
The Teams of Our Lady function from a basic unit: the team of 4 or 5 couples and a priest who meet monthly over a meal at one of the households. This team meeting is an opportunity to exchange on a theme and on concrete points of effort for each person.
Maison Massabielle dedicates about twenty weekends each year to retreats for couples. Other weekends and weekdays are open to other groups.
