The chaplains of Paray-le-Monial have a large experience in encountering, receiving and in spiritual accompaniment. They receive thousands of pilgrims a year. With the help of a team of lay people, they offer to all who are interested, a time of retreat to reflect upon the friendship that the Heart of Jesus proposes to each of us whatever of our state of life , our family situation or our profession.

Different types of retreats are proposed : for men or women of all life states, family situation or profession. Other retreats are specifically for married couples or grandparents. In December there is a retreat where the Prophets are studied. This is open to all.
