The Centre aims at providing a welcoming atmosphere to students and young professionals aged between 18 and 35. Certain offers are directed particularly to them.
And anyone can come for a day or two to follow an itinerary in Sophie Barat’s footsteps.
Retreats
All the year round, the Centre welcomes anyone who wishes to make a retreat. These retreats are for everyone, young and not so young, whether you’re on your own, in a couple or in a group, lay people, religious men and women, priests…
The retreat is a time of stepping aside in an atmosphere of prayer and silence. It places us in the light of Christ and can have a specific aim:
- To learn or learn again to pray
- To deepen your relationship with God
- To stand back a little from everyday life
- To take a new look at your life and bring it all together
- To take an important decision, make a free choice
- To renew your strength at a difficult time
At the Sophie Barat Centre, several kinds of retreat are offered:
- Retreats of initiation into the Spiritual Exercises: 5 days just to let God look at you through guided prayer, sharing, and personal companioning.
- Individual retreats: 5, 8, 10 or 30 days “à la carte” to deepen your relationship to God, all at your own pace, restock your resources or make a decision in faith, using a personalised programme.
