'Before I formed you in the womb I
knew you, and before you were born I consecrated you: I appointed you a prophet to the nations.'
Jeremiah
1:5
Born from a prayer group in 1973
in Lyon, France, the Chemin Neuf Community is a Catholic community with an
ecumenical vocation. It is composed of
more than 1500 members in 25 countries. Couples,
families, singles and celibates, men and women have chosen the adventure of
community life to follow Christ poor and humble, in order to serve the church,
the Gospel and the world.
Around the
community has grown up the Chemin Neuf “Communion,”
an apostolic body of more than 6000 people around the world.
The Chemin
Neuf Community is an apostolic community, influenced by the spirituality of St.
Ignatius of Loyola and the Charismatic Renewal.
Most
members work professionally outside the community. Others serve full time in ministries
entrusted to the community by the Church.
The income from the professional work covers the community’s daily
needs, while it depends on the Lord, on providence and on donations to provide
what is necessary to carry out God’s plan for mission. Members live in one of two ways:
“neighbourhood” fraternities (in their own homes) or “common life” fraternities
(members live under one roof). |
