A day of recollection for the Pibrac community
On Monday 26 October the community of Pibrac experienced a moment of meditation at the Abbey of Notre-Dame du Désert... This abbey of Trappist monks (reduced to seven elderly religious and now sent to different part of the world, France, Peru and Norway), was closed down 3 October and has now become the "Village of Francis".
The "Village of Francis" will gradually welcome up to 120 people: homeless, former prostitutes, former prisoners, migrants..., and will continue to offer space for spiritual exercises, retreat days, just as when the Monks were there.
The community of Pibrac spent time in personal reflection, in sharing about the editorial by Fr. Gustavo Agín scj (NEF of October), in updating the community project and in revising the accounts. Br Aurélien scj and Br Salomon scj, from Ivory Coast, newly temporary professed, have been in Pibrac for a month now and they are attending the theological courses in the “Saint-Cyprien” Interdiocesan Major Seminary in Toulouse and the courses of the Catholic Institute of Toulouse.
