Meeting and gathering in community, to receive the proclamation of the Gospel

The initiator of the Neocatechumenal Way, Kiko Argüello, together with Father Mario Pezzi and María Ascensión Romero, members of the International Team, were received on a visit by the Prefect of the Dicastery, Card. Kevin Farrell, on February the 2nd.

Also, present at the meeting were Gleison De Paula Souza, Secretary, and Linda Ghisoni, Undersecretary. The visit was an opportunity for an update on the most recent activities of the Neocatechumenal Way, including the World Covenant, which the team had also discussed with Pope Francis in the audience granted a few days earlier in the Apostolic Palace.

The International Team spoke about what is happening in this post-pandemic period: the Neocatechumenal Way is experiencing an increased need for people to meet each other, to come together in community, to receive the proclamation of the Gospel.
