On June 13–14, 2026, nearly 70 young people took part in the spiritual retreat “Granero 2026,” organized by the Youth Ministry of the Colombia–Puerto Rico Zone. The retreat was inspired by the experience lived by our founder, Pierre Coudrin, in the Barn of La Motte d’Usseau.
Through silence, prayer, and community life, the young participants were invited to contemplate their own personal stories in the light of God, discover the dreams the Lord has for their lives, and deepen their relationship with Him.
During the retreat, the participants built small barns in groups—spaces for encounter and adoration—where they experienced moments that helped them recognize their personal journey of faith and open themselves to God’s action.
As night fell, they took part in a reparative adoration, placing before the Heart of Jesus their lives, their families, and the realities of the world that are in need of reconciliation, hope, and love.
Later, they carried out a gesture of self-offering inspired by the experience of the Good Father, Pierre Coudrin, upon leaving the Barn, entrusting to God their commitments and desires for service.
The day concluded with the Oak Tree Festival, a sign of the joy and fraternity that spring from an encounter with God and from life shared in community.
The second day was marked by fraternal recreation and fellowship. The gathering culminated in the celebration of the Eucharist, giving thanks to God for the fruits received throughout this experience.
