You are invited....to experience Taiz�. Join us for a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for prayer, renewal and reflection on a pilgrimage to Taiz�, June 2-14, 2016.

The Taiz� Community, in the south of Burgundy, France, is the home of an international, ecumenical community founded in 1940 by Brother Roger. Today, the community is made up of over a hundred brothers of different faiths. The brothers are committed for their whole life to material and spiritual sharing, to celibacy, and to a great simplicity of life. 

A Day at Taiz� includes:
Group Bible study with one of the brothers followed by small group interaction with young adults from around the world. Prayer and singing three times a day in the Church of the Reconciliation. Free time to walk, journal, study, pray and enjoy new friends.
