Who should attend a Via de Cristo weekend?
Via de Cristo is intended for lay people from every walk of life and for pastors. Via de Cristo is for people who live strong and active lives in Christ, and also for those who seek to be renewed and strengthened in their relationship with Christ and the people around them. Via de Cristo is open to married couples as well as single men and women.
What happens on a Via de Cristo weekend?
A Via de Cristo weekend is a three-day journey, beginning on Thursday evening and ending Sunday evening.
After the Weekend
You may attend a Via de Cristo weekend only once in your life. Our prayer is that you build on it for the rest of your life.

Mary and Martha
Whenever I am asked how I’m doing I tend to say something like “Nothing a nap wouldn’t help!” I go by the empty rooms of the hospital where the bed sheets are clean and crisp, the room is dark, the air conditioning is on and they look so inviting! (I would never do that of course, I am being humorous!). The idea of “siesta” where everyone takes an hour or two off in the afternoon...

If you haven’t attended, please consider coming next year! If you are coming...
