What happens at a
Via de Cristo Weekend
Led by a team of clergy and laypeople who have previously attended a Via de Cristo weekend, this experience is a highly structured three-day gathering focused on the basics of Christian faith, God’s grace, and learning how to live a Christ-centered life in our everyday environments. While there is time for personal reflection, Via de Cristo is a structured weekend—it is an intentional, guided with a clear purpose and flow. It is not a retreat with very little structure.
You’ll hear real stories, share meaningful moments, and connect deeply with others on the journey. There is also space for laughter and encouragement along the way. It’s a safe, welcoming environment to grow closer to God and discover how much He loves you—right where you are.
You are invited to join us for a Via de Cristo weekend and experience the joy of faith, friendship, and a renewed sense of purpose that lasts long after the weekend ends.
