SPIRITUAL PAUSE "COME AWAY AND REST"

The Lord's rest


After a season in which everyone has given without pause, whether through professional ambition, caring for children, or managing daily responsibilities, this pause invites you to rest in God and better know yourself. Biblical and practical insights to help you develop your talents: identifying your deepest needs and welcoming with trust the rest that Christ offers in the midst of our responsibilities.

Speakers: Father Patrick Sempere from the Coeur de Jésus community of Bassac, and Clémence Staquet, hospital chaplain.

Registration requested before October 16.
