“The Pope rejoices at this second initiative, desiring the same success for this encounter as was experienced by the first one, organised in 2005.”

In 2009, the international priests’ retreat will be on the occasion of the 150th anniversary of the death of the Cure of Ars.

Its organisation will be under the presidency of Bishop Bagnard, bishop of the diocese of Belley-Ars (France).

  
                                       

"You who are priests are invited to participate in this moment of spiritual strengthening. It will enable all of us to be renewed in our ministry and to taste the joy of a fraternal encounter among priests from the world over. This will be the occasion to pray fervently for priestly vocations."
Mgr Bagnard
