A time for Remembering
We need time to get to know one another and to
re-cognise ourselves as members of the same
family and to have an opportunity to allow unity
and communion to grow amongst us.

A time for sharing
Of our deep and heartfelt experiences.
And of our different backgrounds of life.

A time for festivity

Fr. Chevalier saw, coming from the
« heart of Christ », a new world. It is a great
source of celebration for us and for the
whole world ; our joy needs to be contagious.

A time for prayer and celebration
The Spirit is at work today.
He is CREATIVE.
He sends us forth and gives us confidence
in the future

A time for studying and deepening
The Spirituality of Fr. Jules CHEVALIER,
(à la lumière des écrits du Père E.J. Cuskelly).

A time for being sent on mission
We cannot keep this Good News
just for ourselves.

we proclaim now to you… » (1 Jn, 1-3)
