The NEO WAY COMMUNITY
also known as the Neocatechumenate
The Way is an organization within the Catholic Church dedicated to the Christian formation of adults. It was formed in Madrid in 1964 and received formal approval from the Holy See in 2008.
Taking its inspiration from the catechumenate of the early Catholic Church, it provides post-baptismal formation to adults who are already members of the Church. It also runs 100 seminaries in various locations, and is responsible for hundreds of "families in mission," living in many cities around the World.
The Neocatechumenate is formed as small, parish-based communities of between 20-50 people. In 2007 there were around 40,000 such communities throughout the World, with an estimated million members. Holy Trinity Parish has one community comprised of approximately 20 adults ranging in ages from 30s to 80s that had it inception in 2001. There are other communities based at St. John the Baptist- Kalihi, Our Lady of Good Counsel and a number on Maui, primarily at St. Joseph’s.
The Way describes is a community at the service of the Bishops as a form of diocesan implementation of Christian initiation and of ongoing education in faith, in accordance with the indications of the Second Vatican Council and the Magisterium of the Church”. It provides an ongoing education in faith and a service of catechesis.
