| Neocatechumenal Way |
|
The Neocatechumenal Way is a process that fosters in adults the full ownership of their Christian initiation and prepares them for the evangelization of other adults. Small Christian communities are formed within the parish to bring to deep faith and conversion people submerged in a secular world or living a Christianity of habit. In imitation of the first Christians, the small communities are shaped and nurtured by listening attentively to the Word of God, celebrating the Eucharist, and making frequent use of the Sacrament of Penance. Preached missions or "catecheses" are periodically given in the parish to form new communities.
