Saint-Jacut Abbey
The abbey of Saint-Jacut is located east of the Côtes d'Armor department, at the end of the peninsula of Saint-Jacut-de-la-Mer and is named after St Jacut, of the 5th century.[1] It is now a guest house run by a community of the Sisters of the Immaculate Saint-Meen-le-Grand.[2]
The former Benedictine abbey is no longer "active", it is not even "ruined". The revolutionary turmoil has silenced its stories. Like many other religious monuments at that time, the Abbey was dispersed. The archives also have disappeared. The documents concerning the past of the abbey are due to relatively late writers who have tried to reconstruct the history.[3][4]
Modern Abbey
The nuns of the Immaculate Saint-Meen-le-Grand, looking for a place to open a free school for children of the parish of Saint-Jacut, purchased the abbey. To support the free school and realize the main purpose of their vocation, education of children, the sisters agree to receive vacationers coming to the seaside medical prescription. They flock in 1876, is the origin of the "guesthouse".
In the 1950s, the community develops the mission of spiritual and cultural animation and begins to develop a spiritual retreat program and to sessions of religious but also the laity. The site then becomes a training center.
She continues this work by receiving host groups and professional seminars and undertaking work to respond to this vocation of yesterday and today.
