The Jesuits launch a fundraising.

In a beautiful natural setting, in the heart of the Gulf of Morbihan, the Penboc'h Spiritual Centre and its five buildings are undergoing a vast renovation project to offer guests modern, functional and up to standard spaces. The cost of the works is estimated at 8 million euros. "This new page in the history of Penboc'h, the Jesuits do not want and cannot write it alone (...).  We believe that together we will be able to associate many donors and friends to this project," says Fr. François Boëdec, Provincial of French-speaking Western Europe (EOF).

A fundraising campaign was launched at the end of June in partnership with the Fondation du Patrimoine, which hopes to mobilize two million euros.

Work began at the end of August and should last almost a year.

At the end of August, this high place of retreat, animated by a team of Jesuits, lay people, priests and religious people of Ignatian spirituality, closed its doors for one year. But the community continues to offer the faithful sessions of spiritual resourcing and formation throughout the next twelve months in the Maison Sainte Marie in Sainte-Anne d'Auray (Morbihan), some 20 km from its historic site.
