Sharing a spiritual time as a family
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 deeply spiritual experience, and to take care of the family as a whole and of each individual.
- Reflect on the past year
- Grow in faith and unity
- Learn to pray together
- Share on what truly matters.
Retreat led by Father M. Martin-Prével, cb, Toulouse, Father D. Bostyn and the Community of the Foyer.
A 6-day stay for rest and prayer, in a spirit of recollection for all.
- Parents follow a silent retreat with talks that speak to their lives as spouses and parents.
- Children aged 4 to 14 experience a retreat tailored to their age group, where the spiritual experience unfolds through play, reflection, shared life, and prayer.
