Comunidades de la Nueva Evangelizacion

• Lunes, 8:15pm - Aula 112
• Ultimo lunes de mes, 8:00pm - OLOL Hall

We focus on the urgency of a new spiritual revival, fighting against the religious indifference that the world lives in, with a personal encounter with Jesus Christ. We work to be obedient disciples to learn from Him to be instruments of the Holy Spirit, so that Jesus is found, followed, loved, proclaimed and share with all.

Our goal is that all can discover God from personal encounter with Jesus, held once a year, so all can change their lives, by taking formation and growing spiritually in sharing Prayer and the Word in the weekly meetings; loving one another with the same love that Christ gave us, one spirit, one mind, one heart, Jesus Christ, salvation and eternal life.

Spirituality Children of the Mother of God

• Mondays, 7:30pm - OLOL Hall
• Last Monday of the Month, 7:30pm - St. Bernadette Hall

The way of life is what gives identity, the identity of Christ, who Is who He is because He is God. If the Christian is a Christian is because he or she is like Christ, if not cannot be called a Christian. He or she might be a false Christian or a pseudo Christian, but not a Christian because neither is or acts like Christ.

By this all shall recognize you are my disciples: if you have love for one another (John 13:35)

Join us in living in the style of Jesus Christ.
