Father Clair Watrin, C.S.B. is the founder of the Live-In. It was originally developed as a result of his work with youth in the Search program. The very first Live-In was held in Lethbridge, Alberta, in the fall of 1972.
From the beginning, we have recognized our dependency on the grace of God. Consequently, the preparation and the work at the Live-In is immersed in, and surrounded by, prayer.
Most people who attend a Live-In, experience a deep peace and new outlook on their life. They often have a fresh desire to pray, to read scripture, and to become active in a Christian faith community.
