On Tuesday, December 16, 2025, the Vedruna School Complex organized a spiritual retreat for students and teachers. <\/p>\n\n

The day began with a time of meditation led by Abbot Ruddy Marcus Abouza<\/strong>, vicar of the parish of Saint-Martin and professor of religion at the center. The theme was the Advent<\/strong> season, and the common thread was: <\/p>\n\n

Preparar nuestros corazones y nuestras vidas para recibir al Mes\u00edas, Cristo, que nacer\u00e1 en Navidad<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n

This intense moment of recollection was followed by the Mass of Thanksgiving<\/strong>, celebrated in an atmosphere of prayer and hope, which was a beautiful interior preparation for the feast of the Nativity.<\/p>\n\n

It should be noted that this spiritual activity also coincides with the beginning of the celebrations of the Bicentennial of the Congregation of the Carmelite Sisters of Charity Vedruna.<\/p>\n\n
