STATUTE
OF THE
NEOCATECHUMENAL WAY
Title I
Nature and implementation of the Neocatechumenal Way
Art. 4
[Temporal goods]
§ 1. The Neocatechumenal Way, being an itinerary of Catholic formation that is implemented
in the dioceses through services freely given, has no material goods of its own.
§ 2. When in a diocese it is considered useful to financially support initiatives and activities
for the evangelization realized through the Neocatechumenal Way, the diocesan bishop, at the
request of the International Responsible Team of the Way, will consider the suitability of
erecting an autonomous diocesan foundation, with juridical personality, regulated by its own
statutes, which will also be recognized by the civil authorities. This may also be supported by
oblatory donations made by participants in the Neocatechumenal Way, as well as by foundations
and other individuals.
§ 3. In the communities, collections are made to answer different needs. It is the task of the
responsible team of the community and of the responsible teams of the Way at every level, to
ensure that such collections are administered with a great sense of responsibility and respect for
the law.
Here there are some examples.
