The Philip course to announce a Good News to a poor
The Missionaries of Charity founded by St. Mother Teresa of Calcutta work for the poor but during a Philip course they realized that we are all poor because in need of God’s intervention in ours lives. This experience was a reason to conduct a Philip course and its methodology (16-22.03.2019) in Gent / Belgium, for the mothers in charge of some houses in Europe. The Philip course continues to be an effective tool for witness and for evangelization of every poor person in this world. Continue reading The Philip course to announce a Good News to a poor

SE weekend – new seminars
University formation for evangelization
In January, a new experience for Koinonia began: collaboration with St. John’s University (Minnesota, USA). The university is run by the Benedictine monks.

Seminar on Intercession
23rd. 24th of November 2018

We prayed not one God among other gods, but the Lord of the history and the whole universe. The One that never fails. The Lord that makes the impossible things possible in His name. It was really an intensive weekend,
The community in Australia: a sign of hope
The experience of Miriam and Petra’s recent visit – see PHOTOS
We may wonder if such a small community will see the fruit of all the efforts made. It is not pessimism, rather a healthy realism. Those who are used to consider the fruits in terms of mere numbers tend to think like that. As a matter of fact, in the Bible, the real fruit does not consist in numbers, but in a hope based on God’s gift. That’s why the tiny community in Australia is a sign of hope in a future conquest for Jesus of the entire continent. They tirelessly sow and toil for the Gospel, even when the work is marked by disappointment and discouragement. Continue reading The community in Australia: a sign of hope
