The "R" family

« This session was a special moment for our family. We had the opportunity to ask each other’s forgiveness on certain points, which were obstacles in our relations between spouses and with the children. It was a big leap for all of us.»

Elisabeth and Alexander

« Our vacation in Paray Le Monial was the time for us to recharge our spiritual batteries and fill us with strength for our coming year. The memories and the highlights lived as a couple and with the children, the new songs discovered, and the testimonies heard accompany us throughout the year.. »

Clara

« It was my first session in Paray, I went there alone because in the middle of a separation, and I was a little apprehensive … I loved everything! Praise has helped me not to focus entirely on myself but on Him. I felt welcomed. The session gave me real joy. Thank you! »

Damian

“Paray is an opportunity each year for introspection, renew my strength, go to THE Source, take time for prayer, and confess to getting closer to God. “
