The community grows together further through holidays, pilgrimages, retreats, week ends... A sound of hopeFor handicapped people, Faith and Light reveals to them their call to share the riches of the heart, their tenderness, their fidelity. For parents, Faith and Light supports them in their difficulties. It helps parents to see the inner beauty of their son or daughter and to discover that their child can be a source of light. For friends, Faith and Light opens up the path of friendship and committment with handicapped people, whereby each discovers in the other the presence of the risen Jesus. A missionAt a time when many people with a mental hanicap are done away with before, or at, birth, while others are abandoned, Faith and Light wants to be a witness of the love of God for them and their families, and a response to the call: "Bear one anothers' burdens".
