The Neocatecumenal Way is a community within the Catholic Church that focuses on the formation of Christian adults and was approved by the Holy See in 2008.The Neocatecumenal Way, also simply known as The Way, arose in 1964 through the work of Francisco Arguello and Carmen Hernandez to evangelize the less fortunate in Madrid.From Madrid to the rest of Europe and elsewhere the Neocatecumenal Way has spread throughout the world and continues to make an impact today. These Communities make visible in the parishes the sign of the missionary church and they strive to open a way for the evangelization of those who have almost abandoned the Christian life, offering them an itinerary of a catechumenal type which goes through all those stages that the catechumens went through in the primitive Church before receiving the sacrament of Baptism: it brings them back to the Church and to Christ. (cf. ‘Post baptismal Catechumenate’ in NOTITIAE 96-96, 1974, 229). The announcement of the Gospel, the witnessing in small communities and the Eucharistic Celebration in groups is that which enables the members to put themselves at the service of the renewal of the Church (cf. Notification on the celebration of groups Neocatechumenal Way in L’OSSERVATORE ROMANO – 24 thDecember 1998).
