    Description

    The Community in is a christian community (Roman Catholic) with an ecumenical vocation. Couples, families and celibates, men and women, have chosen community life to follow Christ and serve the Church and the world. We give our lives to Unity. Everyone is welcome! You don't need to be a religious person to come help us, but we ask you to respect our faith as we respect others'. We encourage dialog and a simple lifestyle.
    This is a religious house particularly for young people... We give priority to young people aged 18 to 35.

    Nous sommes une communauté religieuse (catholique) à vocation œcuménique, elle est née d'un groupe de prière à Lyon (France). Couples, familles, célibataires consacrés hommes et femmes ont choisi l’aventure de la vie communautaire à la suite du Christ pour se mettre au service de l’église et du monde. Nous donnons notre vie pour l'Unité. Tous sont bienvenus ! Vous n'avez pas besoin d'être une personne religieuse ou croyante pour venir nous aider, mais nous vous demandons de respecter notre foi comme nous respectons celle des autres. Nous encourageons le dialogue et une simplification de vie.
