FSV Weekend "Giving life, welcoming fragility"

Giving life

These weekends aim to reflect together on themes that help us mature our commitment to society.

They are co-organized by 4 congregations in service to life, who were eager to work together with young people, in order to share their charism and help them reflect on questions relating to life, women's vocation, motherhood, fruitfulness, hospitality, vulnerability, service, etc.

This year's theme is: "Giving life". 4 weekends are planned to explore it (independent from each other, you can participate in whichever weekend(s) you wish):

  • November 15-16, 2025 with the Augustinian Hospitallers of the Mercy of Jesus, in Malestroit (56), on the theme "Caring in all dimensions"

  • December 13-14, 2025 with the Servants of the Poor in Angers (49), on the theme "Being born again when one is old (Jn 3:4)?"

  • February 7-8, 2026 with the Little Sisters of the Poor in Paris (75), on the theme "Do we believe in the resurrection of the dead?"

  • April 25-26, 2026 with the Little Sisters of Catholic Maternities, in Bourgoin-Jallieu (38), on the theme "Giving life, welcoming fragility"
