WHAT IS A DISCIPLESHIP SCHOOL?
“In addition, young people who are emerging as leaders must be especially accompanied, so that they can be formed and trained. The young people who gathered before the Synod called for the development of “youth leadership programs for the formation and ongoing development of young leaders” (Pope Francis Christus vivit 245).
VISION
The School of Discipleship and Training (EDE) is a transformative experience lasting several months, lived in community and full-time. During this time, you will learn to be a missionary disciple, deepening your relationship with God and discovering your vocation for life. You will live your faith day by day through daily Eucharist, weekly Eucharistic adoration, Lauds, Bible study, formative classes, and mission. It is a time to immerse yourself completely in God’s presence, grow in your faith, and let Him renew your heart through the sacraments and community life.
PURPOSES
1. Discipleship
Five months where you will get to know God through His Word, the sacraments especially the Eucharist, Praise and Adoration. You will be spiritually accompanied by priests and will be assigned a “one on one” (young staff member) to help you in your human growth. You will also share in small groups and there will be the opportunity every day to pray Lauds communally and have a personal time of prayer with God.
2. Leadership
The young people who participate will be able to discover their role in the Church, assuming responsibilities and growing in service, giving their gifts and charisms.
3. Evangelization
You will be trained to evangelize through your talents such as art, dance, theatre, singing, rap or multimedia. You will also be trained in communication skills to give your testimony and preach the gospel.
