Family retreat: "The Lord will renew you with his love"

Living a spiritual retreat as a family is a foundational experience.

It is a true spiritual renewal for the whole family, parents and children alike, each according to their age.

This special time can be an opportunity to share a meaningful spiritual experience, to care for the family as a whole and for each individual.

• Reflect on the past year
• Grow in faith and unity
• Learn to pray together
• Share on what truly matters.
