This ancient Carthusian monastery, situated in the midst of the vineyards of Languedoc, was entrusted to our monastic Family of Bethlehem by the Carthusians in 1978. Pilgrims come to the sanctuary dedicated to Notre Dame de Pitié, which is very well-known in the region. To give thanks for graces received and to offer prayers for healing, numerous are those who come to entrust themselves to the Virgin who “listens and answers”. In this monastery there are big workshops where statues are sculpted, and many women from the surrounding areas come to help. This work of sculpting, inspired by the ancient art and techniques of a former age, is accomplished in prayer and in the humble search for a transcendant Beauty. It is intended, above all, to be a service of the Church.
