talking with a Neocatechuminate from Denver CO.


Mark Hartnell, from Denver Colorado is a Neocathecuminate who is with us now for a weeklong retreat before he gets the final baptismal for the catechuminate.

some insights about what neocathecuminate is all about:
One of the greatest gifts the Spirit has given to us from the Second Vatican Council is the renewal of the catechumenate.

The catechumenate has various stages. the most important aspect for parish renewal is to look at a post-baptismal catechesis, that is, a catechesis or an instruction in the mysteries of Christ and of the Church for all of the baptized, that is post-baptismal catechesis.

The Pontifical Council for the Laity has given formal recognition, to a post-baptismal catechumenate. There are many lay movements within the Church that have been called by the Spirit to bring about a renewal of communities, of parishes.
the Neocatechumenate is one of the strongest expressions of that capacity within the Church that the Spirit has given to us that has the ability to create a forgiving community, the capacity to create a community of tough love that is rooted in the Cross of Jesus.
known since 1980,the Neocatechumenate in the Archdiocese of Denver Co established one of the best expressions, one of the best proclamations of the Paschal Mystery that the Spirit has given to the modern Church.
