Preambula Group

What it reported doing in 2024

Discipleship roadmap: preambula group is a lay apostolate that exists to support the formation and growth of catholic disciples for the work of the new evangelization. Our work is focused on making our parishes and their faithful engaged in their encounters with christ through education, group study and prayer so that they will become disciples and build up parish life in the region and the church at large. Formation activities are conducted through the way, on fire, and your mission programs. Continued on schedule othe way is the first step in a continuum of guided experiences for people to discover what wonderful things jesus will do for them if they trust him to lead them to a wholehearted and joyful life. Over a live eight-week group experience, participants learn the authentically christian way to a deeper personal connection with god, interior freedom, a resilient faith, and the fullness of life. On fire is a six-month experience that calls disciples to journey with others to deepen their relationship with god and discern how god is calling them to be missionary disciples for the church. Upon completion of the on fire program, participants may journey for an additional six months in the your mission program. This program focuses on the disciple's ability to share their faith comfortably and confidently in the secular world. Your mission is an opportunity for those who have been through on fire to journey with other on fire alum to learn how to share the love of jesus comfortably and confidently. During the eight live sessions, participants discover their call and take risks as they step out in faith to live as mature disciples capable of bringing jesus to those who do not know him. Upon completion of the journey, each cohort continues as a community of missionary disciples, supporting each other in their desire to bring jesus into their spheres of influence.the metanoia project invests in the spiritual vitality and growth of parish staff and key parish volunteers working in ministry.
