The European Institute for Family
LIFE
The European Institute for Family (LIFE) was created to spread the Gospel message over marriage and family. It’s not a dream, nor a fantasy. It’s the answer to a question that lies deep in the heart of every man.
What are the objectives of LIFE ? :
-
Develop the «Accueils Louis et Zélie»
-
Train local coaches
-
Glow by editing books, organizing conferences...
LIFE has received support from several cardinals and bishops.
Why so ?
First, a statement :
-
The breakdown of family values and the dramatic situations it implies
-
The lack of assistance given to the people facing these situations
A solution to face these issues :
-
The «Accueils Louis et Zélie»
ACCUEIL
LOUIS & ZELIE
What’s an « Accueil Louis et Zélie »?
An Accueil Louis et Zélie is a family-oriented center open to all: young people, couples, single people, elderly people...
It’s a place of dialogue and missionary care with one clear objective: spread the Gospel of family and the Gospel of life. It’s about helping anyone, whether they are Christian or not, who is trying to get out of a difficult situation.
The Accueil Louis et Zélie addresses:
-
The couples in conflict;
-
The people who suffer in their affective and emotional life;
-
The isolated individuals;
-
The grand parents who wish to improve their relationship with their children and grandchildren;
-
The couples who are having trouble conceiving a child;
-
Any woman who is facing an unplanned pregnancy;
-
Those with a need for reconciliation and inner peace;
-
The people who must take decisions and who need some specific help doing so.
Today’s situation:
The Accueil Louis et Zélie is currently present in 6 places in France:
Bayonne, Nay, Orthez, Navarrenx, Sarrance, Pau (64)
A MISSIONARY CARE
Because every human being is unique and deserves a deep attention, the Accueil Louis et Zélie is made of a team of professionals and volunteers: family mediator, couples counselor, doctor, midwife, coach specialized in natural family planning...
These people provide counseling and support to the extent of their competence. Their know-how and social skills are deeply rooted in the magisterium of the Church and they welcome each person with infinite respect, regardless of their beliefs and state of life.
The people’s confidentiality, anonymity and respect are guaranteed.
This service is free so it can benefit as many people as possible.
