The event is over.

On the occasion of the birth and baptism of Thérèse (January 1873), the Sanctuary and the Pastoral Care of Families of the diocese of Bayeux-Lisieux invite mothers, whatever their situation, to a spiritual weekend from January 18 to 19, 2025 to rediscover how much each one is loved by God, hear their vocation, lay down their burden, give thanks and be amazed.

Every human situation can be met by God. He loves me infinitely whatever my reality as a mother, in joys as in sorrows, and particularly in a life trial.

Proposed by Father Carme Didier-Joseph, a spiritual weekend listening to the word of God, Zélie Martin and Saint Thérèse, and mothers in the Bible.
