Christmas as a Family - Paris 2024

Green, red, white… It was in an atmosphere of vivid and joyful colors that the Christmas retreat began on 08 December 2024 in the beautiful city of Nantes at around 9 a.m. with some fifty participants, coming from various backgrounds.

It all began with songs of praise and thanksgiving. This was followed by a Mass presided over by the parish priest, Father Mathias. From teaching, through testimony and evangelization on stage, spiritual nourishment on the main theme of “I love you, Lord, my strength” Ps 18:2 was served. The participants noted how much the Lord is love and merciful, and how necessary it is to prepare oneself well in order to make our hearts into living mangers.

After the giving of gifts, a shared meal followed with a well-stocked buffet. It was in joy and picture-taking that everyone returned home.
