Advent retreat
Retreat open to all, from 15 to 95 years old, to prepare for Christmas!
A path of holiness with Jesus, Mary, Joseph
How great is the little domestic church!
Everything is designed to help you recharge spiritually, step back, and take stock of your life, and to live a time of intimacy with God.
To this end, the retreat is structured around prayer (mental prayer, liturgical offices, Mass, Eucharistic adoration) and teachings, and takes place in an atmosphere of recollection that fosters an encounter with the Lord.
500 meters away, the Marian sanctuary where Our Lady of the Poor appeared in 1933 offers retreatants a special opportunity for spiritual renewal.
Everyone may request spiritual accompaniment from a priest and receive the sacrament of reconciliation.
Meals and participation in service tasks are moments of fraternal sharing.
Preacher: Brother Marc, founder of the Community of Tiberiade
