Holidays for single mothers with their children

“Come away to a deserted place by yourselves and rest a while.” (Mark 6:31)

Do you want to relax and recharge your batteries at the family sanctuary, with your children, for a few days?
Take a time of calm, joy, reflection and spiritual growth away from the whirlwind of a trying daily life and relearn to yourself "let the Lord love" ?
You will be welcomed and taken care of by a team from the sanctuary.

Program

Visit of the sanctuary, excursions in the city and the surrounding countryside in the footsteps of the Martin family, prayer vigils, masses, teachings, activities for children supported by nuns, leaders and seminarians, walks, tourist excursions... will help you regain breath and enthusiasm.

Who is the game for?

These holidays are offered for single, separated, divorced or widowed mothers, accompanied by their children.
