The Santa Teresa Piarists House of Spirituality It has been consolidated in more than a year as a unique space for welcome, spirituality and reflection in the heart of Zaragoza. This center, managed by the Piarist community, offers a comprehensive proposal for those seeking a deep encounter with God, a time of personal discernment or an enriching community experience.
A spiritual legacy with deep roots
Born in continuity with the work of the Teresian nuns, Saint Teresa is inspired by the educational spirituality of Saint Joseph of Calasanzfounder of the Piarists. This approach combines a commitment to education, human growth and faith, especially prioritizing youth and church groups.
The space not only hosts retreats and workshops, but also promotes community experiences focused on active listening and integrating faith into everyday life. “Santa Teresa is a place to find peace and meaning in the midst of the turbulence of everyday life,” they explain from the Piarist community.
The Santa Teresa team is made up of Piarist religious, lay collaborators and volunteers coming from all over Spain. Together, they work to make this space a place where spirituality and everyday life intertwine. Among the main activities are the celebration of the Eucharistspaces for personal and community prayerand training aimed at human and spiritual development.
“We want each person who passes through here to take away something more than peace of mind. We aspire for them to experience a transformation that brings them closer to their best version of faith and the Gospel,” those responsible for the project share.
An environment conducive to reflection
Located in a privileged natural environment, the house has intimate chapels, green spaces and a small hermitage. This last place is ideal for those seeking an experience of solitude and reflection. Furthermore, Saint Teresa maintains a special connection with the Peralta de la Sal Sanctuarybirthplace of San José de Calasanz, which adds a historical and spiritual dimension to the project.
Visitors have the opportunity to immerse themselves in the peace that the environment offers and find inspiration in the silence. “It is a place designed to hear His voice today, a space where the beauty of nature and the depth of the spirit combine,” the organizers highlight.
Retreats and open programming
Saint Teresa offers scheduled withdrawals and the possibility of reserving moments of personal silence. The programming, available on its official website, includes from training meetings until spirituality workshops adapted to the needs of various groups, such as youth, families and religious communities.
In addition, the house has resources that promote the integral development of the participants, seeking that each experience contributes to a renewal of faith and one personal transformation that positively impacts everyday life.
