Singles Weekend – “A true Pentecost for the participants”

Louis et Zélie show on RCF

May 27th 2026

This week, we're shining a spotlight on some recent and upcoming events at the heart of the Alençon Sanctuary. We're highlighting, in particular, the weekend dedicated to singles, which brought together over forty participants for three days, filled with the genuine joy of meeting and sharing. Through a rich program of reflection, relaxation, and a mini-pilgrimage in the countryside, they were inspired by a figure like Louis Martin, who married relatively late, at the age of 34. According to the rector, “they left with a true sense of peace after a time when fraternal love flowed beautifully, and which was a true Pentecost for everyone.”
