For over 90 years now, generation after generation, the Villa Saint-Martin has been handing over a wealth of spiritual experience. The Jesuits, a Catholic religious congregation, has nurtured this tradition; they have enriched and adapted it to the times. Today, almost every month, the Villa offers spiritual and thematic directed retreats as well as open dates for individual and personal retreats.

The Society of Jesus, under the inspiration of the Spirit, insures that the famous heritage of Ignatian spirituality touches our contemporaries as a precious helping hand in their life. Through Ignatius of Loyola's and through the Jesuits' inheritance over the centuries, the team at la Villa Saint-Martin participates in the spreading of the Gospel message to the men and women of our time so that this message could still be heard and put in practice.
