Neocatechumenal Way

Being fed by Jesus in small groups, like the early church, is the dynamic of the Neocatechumenal way.

We invite everyone, parishioners and non-parishioners alike, to attend catecheses, which are sessions or talks which give an opportunity to reflect on our lives and discover what it is to be fed by Jesus. Attendees are invited to form small groups who will receive nourishment from the Lord through listening to the Word of God, together with the sacraments of the Church and, God willing, slowly gain greater communion and love for one another by the gift of the Holy Spirit.

At the end of the two months of catechesis, we celebrate a solemn liturgy of the Word presided. This liturgy is followed by a retreat from Friday evening to Sunday afternoon. At the end of this retreat, those who are interested can continue to receive nourishment and faith formation from the Lord together through the following ongoing meetings:

1. A liturgy of the word one evening in the middle of the week - Wednesday.
2. The celebration of the Eucharist at 7:30pm on Saturday evening.
3. Once a month, a Sunday retreat, where the liturgy of the Lauds, celebrated in the morning, is followed by a time where everyone can freely share their experience and the action of God in their life.

Those who participate grow in intimacy with the Lord, live a deep reconciliation with their history and can receive from the Holy Spirit the gift of love for the neighbour, just as Jesus loved us.
