The international team responsible for the Way has been composed since 2018 by Kiko Argüello –responsible of the Way–, María Ascensión Romero, and by Rev. Mario Pezzi. From the origins of the Way in 1964, and until 2016, it was formed by the initiators Kiko Argüello and Carmen Hernández, and by Rev. Mario Pezzi. After Carmen’s death on July 19, 2016, and according to the Statutes of the Way, María Ascensión Romero joined the team. This team is responsible for leading the Neocatechumenal Way throughout the world, with the collaboration of itinerant teams in each nation. Among their responsibilities are those of guiding the implementation of the Neocatechumenal Way and guaranteeing its authenticity; exercising the powers indicated in the approved Statute; proceeding with consultations deemed appropriate; maintain regular relations with diocesan bishops, as well as maintaining regular relations with the Dicastery for the Laity, Family and Life of the Holy See, among others.
