Palm Sunday at the Abbey - Recollection for 18-30 year olds

Reserve my spot

Enter into Holy Week at Mont Saint-Michel

  • Following the rhythm of life of the brothers and sisters of the Monastic Fraternities of Jerusalem, the brothers will welcome you for a retreat where you will share their daily life and their experience of God.

  • In an atmosphere of silence, you will be able to take personal time for prayer and reflection to enter through prayer into Holy Week.

  • An oratory and private gardens, terraced and away from the flow of visitors, will be accessible to you.

  • Good physical health is necessary (300 steps to climb several times a day to reach the abbey church).

The day is structured around:

  • participation in liturgical offices (Lauds, Mass, and Vespers),
  • reading of the Holy Scriptures,
  • a time of community service,
  • sharing the community table,
  • and part of our community life.


Practical information:

  • Reception for the retreat takes place on Friday evening.
  • The recollection ends on Palm Sunday in the afternoon.
  • Don't forget your Bible, if you have one, and something to write with.
  • You will stay in one of the lodgings located in the village.
  • They include a common room, a small kitchen, and 5 bedrooms.
  • The rooms are furnished with simplicity and sobriety, in a monastic style.
  • The bathroom and toilets are on the landing.
  • Practical details will be communicated upon registration.

Suggested offering:

  • One day is estimated at €55 (accommodation, meals, and program).
  • Depending on whether you are a student or young professional, we suggest a contribution starting from €40/day.
