What is a Group Reunion?
The Group Reunion is a small group (3 to 6) of Via de Cristo friends that meet on a regular basis. The purpose of this meeting is to share with one another the growth that has taken place within each of them, to deepen their friendship, to help one another to live according to the Gospel and to bring a Christ-like attitude to their environments.
Group reunions is the core of Via de Cristo. From the very beginning of the 3 day movement the founders perceived in the Group Reunion the means “to create and sustain small nuclei (groups) of Christians who act as leaven for the Gospel in their environments”.
To help spread the Good News, there is nothing which can compare to the sharing of God’s graces among friends. The Group Reunion provides the continual support we need in order to persevere as a part of God’s plan.
In a Group Reunion, we continue to grow in:
- Piety – to share our spiritual life
- Study – to grow in the knowledge of Christ
- Action – to prepare various methods of passing on to others what we have learned
