Riaumont

Built for young people at the request of the DDASS (the French social services) and the judges of Pas-de-Calais, this centre and independent school[1] accepts children with disabilities like autism.

In 1979, the DDASS found serious problems (poor hygiene, food safety conditions and maltreatment), and decided to close the centre in April 1982.

[2] The religious community of Sainte-Croix (Holy-Cross of Riaumont) celebrates the liturgy according to the 1962 form of the Roman Rite, under the provisions of the motu proprio Summorum Pontificum.

People can see the works of the painter Gerard Ambroselli like the fresco in the canopy but also of the drawings and paintings originally from draughtsman and illustrator Pierre Joubert.

The teaching objective of the school is to carry out a full Christian education by taking it as a starting point of the realism thomist and the pedagogy of scouting.

It has been a federation affiliated for 15 years to the Eclaireurs Neutres de France (ENF), a movement of Scouting founded in 1947, approved by the ministry for Youth and Sports.
