Retreats

2016 retreats

Tressaint Retreat

We will be having a Foyer retreat at Tressaint. This is a special opportunity to share in the life of the Foyer de Charité of Tressaint, which is easily reached from Britain, Ireland, or Jersey.
The retreat will be preached by Fr Tom Dubois and has the title 'Discovering Jesus' gaze of mercy and invitation'. It is called ‘fundamental retreat’ because it surveys all the fundamental points of our Catholic faith.
The community will all look after the retreatants and pray for them. Their work and life style witness in action to what the retreat is preaching in words.
The retreat will begin on Sunday 23 October 2016 with dinner at 7.30 pm and end on Saturday 29 October at 2 pm. Like all Foyer de Charité retreats, it will be in total silence with three talks
each day, and worship with the community. The retreat is by donation. The community suggest an amount that it costs them to run the retreat, but it is up to you to give whatever you can afford.

Tressaint is near St Malo, which has ferry links from Portsmouth. It is also near the airports of Dinard and Rennes St Jacques, both of which have a number of low cost flights to the UK. Foyer members can collect you from the airport.
