Le module communautaire unique du Collège Jean de la Mennais est soutenu financièrement par la Fondation Jean de la Mennais. Cette action communautaire et sociale implique plus de 500 personnes : garçons et filles, chez les élèves actuels, les anciens et le personnel du collège. Étant impliqués dans l’action communautaire, ces jeunes sont témoins au fil des ans de la qualité des liens tissés entre eux et les personnes aidées : des liens empreints de respect, de compassion, d’écoute, de sensibilité, de chaleur et de vie. De cette expérience unique, chacun en retire du bonheur, de la reconnaissance et de l’espoir. Ces rencontres sensibilisent les élèves du collège aux réalités humaines et spirituelles de ce monde. À travers leur engagement, ces dernières deviennent les artisans d’une société où l’entraide et l’acceptation des différences se veulent des assises solides.

Christian Life Communities are small groups of people who are striving for a deeper spirituality that helps them find God in all things.

The spirituality of CLC is inspired by the Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius and is the specific source of its charisma. Members focus on increasing their awareness of being created and loved by God, as well as fostering their desire to work as a companion of Jesus to continue his mission in the world.
