Retreat organization

• The session begins on October 19 starting at 3:00pm with family check-in and ends on October 24 after lunch. When registering, please plan accordingly to respect the arrival and departure dates.

• Meals are provided by the community, you won't need to cook except to bring desserts, cakes, or specialties from your region. Coordinate with the cook.

• We will provide a washing machine for laundry for 6 euros per token.

• We offer sports activities (scuba diving, hiking, etc.) for older teens. Scuba diving is paid for by parents separately from retreat expenses.

‍

Children

• Children ages 0-3 are supervised in the nursery by volunteers, not professional childcare providers.

• For safety reasons, children ages 0-4 sleep with their parents. Other children are grouped by age and sleep with children their own age.

• They will be supervised by the brothers and volunteers while parents are in conference sessions. Outside of group activity times, children are the parents' responsibility.

• We can rent you portable cribs upon request.

‍

What to bring

• You may bring your own sheets and towels (parents: 1.40m beds, children: 0.90m beds). You also have the option to rent sheets and towels on-site for 10 euros.

• Bring a Bible, something to take notes with, hiking shoes, hats, sunglasses, musical instruments for liturgical celebrations.

‍

Financial participation

• The balance of your stay is paid on-site in cash, by check, or by bank transfer.

• To continue its mission with families, the Brothers' community relies on your generosity to receive your donations. A tax receipt will be provided for each donation you make to the brothers.

• We thank you in advance and assure you of our prayers. You may share your prayer intentions with us and we will bring them to the Lord.
