Living Holy Week at the Priory
Celebrate Holy Week by following Christ step by step in his infinite love, to the rhythm of the liturgical offices sung by the community. The Benedictine Sisters of the Sacred Heart of Montmartre invite you to this Holy Week retreat at their Saint Benedict Priory.
Father Jean-Baptiste Arnaud, president of the Faculté Notre-Dame (les Bernardins) will lead meditation sessions on the theme "With Christ, priest, prophet and king, entering into the Paschal mystery". He will also preside over the celebrations in the priory chapel.
The priory, located on the Montmartre hill but set back from the Parisian rhythm, offers a peaceful setting for contemplation and entrusting one's life to the Lord. The silent meals as well as the fraternal moments at Easter allow each person to find peace and joy.
