FAMILY SCHOOL 2023–2024
13th - 19th August 2023
Dear families,
We would like to invite you to the summer school "New Families" (i.e., families living the spirituality of unity within the Focolare Movement).
This school is not exclusively for young newlywed couples. We regularly organize this school through the Focolare Movement, and we invite families who have experience living in a community of families or have some experience with the spirituality of unity within the Focolare Movement and have a desire to further explore it and live within the community of families.
Our aim is also to strengthen relationships between spouses and within the family, and we often experience this during the school. We invite parents with children, and even grandparents or aunts/uncles are welcome to accompany the families and help with childcare. Venue and accommodation: Štěkeň Castle (Monastery of the Religious Sisters)
If you are interested in participating in the New Families school, please let us know as soon as possible by email at mar.furstova@seznam.cz, but no later than 31st March 2023. Please provide us with the number of adults and children attending and a contact phone number.
If you have any questions, feel free to contact us by email (as mentioned above) or by phone at +420 724 560 040.
After the registration deadline, we will send you the application form and detailed information about the school.
