Fr Caffarel always thoroughly recommended that Teams members should, if at all possible, take an annual retreat including two nights.
He was not prescriptive about the style or place, or whether it was the couple on their own or with their Team. He himself always spent every February, June and October away in prayer; only one person knew where he was!
Team members are invited to send details of the places of prayer and tranquility that have enabled them or their Team to enjoy a time of spiritual refreshment.
Fareham 2 have enjoyed wonderful Lent retreats at Douai from 2008 to 2010. Many other Teams members will have also enjoyed the tranquility of the Abbey and its surrounding countryside. With only 8 rooms, some with double and some twin beds, it is suitable for a small residential retreat. Meeting rooms are provided for the retreat.
