Let Us Dare to Hope!

We look forward to seeing you this summer at the family festival, on the theme “Let’s dare to hope”. From August 21 to 25, 2024, all families are invited to experience a joyful time anchored in Christ!

Organized by the Jesuits , in partnership with the Eucharistic Youth Movement (MEJ), this family festival will take place at the Châtelard spiritual ecocenter, near Lyon .

On the program for the 5 days: times of joyful prayer, testimonies from committed families, activities by age group, moments to enjoy silence, a big festive evening and finally... many surprises! Young people, welcomed from a very young age, will have a dedicated program led by the MEJ, while enjoying quality time with family.

In the spirituality of Saint Ignatius of Loyola, we will experience how to care for the relationships within our families and discover joyful ways to engage in the great issues of today's world. Despite the many crises we are going through, let God fill us with hope so that we can recognize that love is indeed at work in our suffering world!
