All Saints' Day Retreat

Celebrating All Saints' Day at Notre-Dame de Sainte Garde

October 30 – November 1, 2026 Notre-Dame de Sainte-Garde Vaucluse 50 places
All Saints' Day Retreat

To renew our journey following Jesus!

« Be holy, for I, your God, am holy! »

There is no getting around it: the call to holiness is very much part of the Christian life, and it is also the only path to our full flourishing.
So what better occasion than the feast of All Saints to receive the fraternal encouragement of the saints?
These retreat days will allow us to meditate with them on following Jesus, and to receive from him the gift of sanctification.

Programme

A balanced and peaceful rhythm in the heart of Provence:

  • Two talks are given each day by Dorle Merchiers and Father Pierre Coulange, both members of Notre-Dame de Vie.

  • Mass gathers us at the heart of the day, along with Lauds in the morning and Vespers in the evening.

  • Priests are available for the sacrament of reconciliation, and couples and consecrated persons are on hand to welcome and listen.

  • The program allows time to pray, read, and meditate, as well as to rest and walk in a peaceful setting.

  • The retreat is held in silence, except during the first and last meals.
