Prayer is inseparable from Christian life. It is of course personal and individual, and it can also be enriched by the strength of praying together. If you would like to entrust your prayer intentions to us, write them in the form below and send it to us:
You can also turn to, or join, one of the following movements or communities: the Équipes du Rosaire (Rosary Teams), the Ursuline Sisters, the Dominican Sisters and the Dominican Friars. All of them can accompany and support you in your desire to pray, whether in daily life or during retreats.
Since the "year of mission" in 2009, and at the invitation of our archbishop, several « lectio divina » groups have formed in the parish. They are usually teams of 5 to 10 people living in the same neighbourhood who meet once a month at one another's homes to share and pray from the Word of God (the Bible). You can start a group yourself or join one of those that already exist…
Contact: 02 47 70 21 00 (parish office).
In the parish, around twenty people meet every month to pray the Rosary and to live the Gospel with Mary. These are the Équipes du Rosaire, a lay apostolate; they try to be like lamps alight, ensuring a Church presence in our world that itself bears witness to the presence of Christ. They also share the prayer intentions entrusted to them, and every day each member is invited to pray in communion with the other members of their team.

Working closely with the parish, the House of Prayer is a Spiritual Centre opened in 1978 by the Sisters of Saint Ursula. It offers hospitality, formation, retreats and spiritual accompaniment, following Ignatian spirituality "in the manner" of Anne de Xainctonge, foundress of the Company of Saint Ursula. Following Anne de Xainctonge, for 400 years the Sisters of Saint Ursula have "taken part in the educational mission of the Church", seeking to "contribute to the human and spiritual growth" of every person they meet.
Through the various activities of the Spiritual Centre, everyone is invited to live an experience, to reflect on it, to put it into words,
and, why not, to share it with others, in order to stand before God in truth. For "it is not knowing much, but realising and relishing
things interiorly, that contents and satisfies the soul". The House of Prayer offers green surroundings, rest, relaxation and
freedom. It is open to anyone seeking silence, a step back, or help with prayer. It can welcome
groups
and Church movements wishing to benefit from its setting and its atmosphere of recollection. Together with the Sisters of Saint Ursula, lay people
of Ignatian spirituality help with the hospitality and running of the Centre. Besides the activities it offers in its programme, the Spiritual
Centre team is happy to respond to requests from groups, parishes and movements, whether hosting them on site or
travelling to them:
