Clarification of the Neocatechumenal Way

The Neocatechumenal Way is a Catholic formation programme implemented in dioceses through services freely given (cf. Art. 4 of the Statute of the Neocatechumenal Way) and approved by the Holy See. The community’s celebratory meetings make use of various materials (songs, liturgical elements, and paintings), fruits of the creativity of Kiko Argüello and Carmen Hernández. These have been made available free of charge to brothers and parishes for liturgical use.
