A Rest for the Soul: Spiritual Retreat for our Collaborators

MAR 21, 2025

Beginning Lent with a renewed heart is essential in the life of every Christian. Therefore, a spiritual retreat was held for collaborators, who, along with their spouses, had the opportunity to experience a time of reflection and an encounter with God. Retreats are key moments in the life of a Christian as they allow us to pause in the midst of routine, renew our faith, and strengthen our commitment to Christian values.

These spiritual retreats are profoundly important to our mission as they respond to the legacy of our founder, Fr. Giovanni, who taught us that aid should not be limited solely to the economic sphere. Beyond providing employment, our commitment is to accompany each collaborator in their integral development, remembering that poverty is not only material but also spiritual. It is in this latter aspect that our work becomes even more meaningful, offering spaces for encounter with God and strengthening of our faith.

Following this principle, we understand that true improvement is not measured solely by professional achievements or financial stability, but by the ability to be better people and better Christians. Therefore, this retreat became a valuable opportunity to renew our spirit, share experiences, and reinforce the values ​​that define us as a community. We trust that these types of initiatives will continue to make a difference in the lives of those who are part of our family, guiding them toward a more fulfilling life rooted in faith.
