What Happens on a Via de Cristo Weekend?
During the three-day weekend participants live, study, worship and commune together dailv. Fourteen talks are given, nine
by lay people and five by clergy. Following each talk, small round table discussions focus on the main points of the talk
and a poster is completed. The talks, in an overlapping fashion, present the Christian life, based on the person and
teachings of Jesus Christ. The titles of these talks indicate their content: Ideal, Pietv, Studv, Sacraments, Action, Obstacles
to Grace, Leaders, Environment, Life in Grace, Christian Community, and Total Security. There is music and singing, food and
fellowship, a time for laughter and for prayer.
