"Your Father," "my Father," "our Father"

This retreat will seek to offer answers to the great human and spiritual questions, as well as to the challenges of the contemporary world, through living teachings rooted in the Word of God and in experience. The teachings will be given by the foundress of the community.

During this time of human and spiritual renewal, you will also be carried by an atmosphere of prayer and silence and a carefully celebrated liturgy. The life-giving presence of nature, the discreet yet attentive care of the brothers and sisters who will share this spiritual retreat with you — preached for them as well — and the recollection of each person will open you to the mystery of the God of Mercy and Life.

This retreat is open to all, from age 18 onward.

Program highlights:

• Two teachings per day.
• Daily celebration of Mass and celebration of the Vigils of the Resurrection on Saturday evening.
• Opportunity to receive the Sacrament of Reconciliation and/or spiritual guidance.
• Time for rest, solitary walks, meditation, and silent prayer.

Meals shared together with beautiful background music.

Monday evening and Sunday midday meals are times for sharing.

The community shop will be open at certain times during the week.
