Células en Alianza
Células en Alianza is a project that is always understood from the category of community and from the pastoral zeal with which every Christian should be infected according to the spirit expressed by Jesus himself in his Gospel when he tells us “I have come to cast fire upon the earth, and how I wish that it were already kindled!”
The Células en Alianza community reached its identity in the Parish of St. John Bosco located in Chicago IL. This work was made possible thanks to the support of the Salesian community, the founder Fr. Juan Bosco Jiménez G., particularly the parish priest, Fr. William Buccierro and Sister Lourdes Ramírez Virgin Consecrated to this Archdiocese of Chicago. The first promises of a group of parishioners who joined Células en Alianza took place on October 5, 2003 at the Eucharist presided over by Bishop Jonh Manz held in the church of San Jan Bosco in Chicago.
With this project of community Células en Alianza, it is intended to respond to the following challenges: The lack of evangelization as the first announcement, Individualism, the mediocrity of the great mass of Christians, the little attention paid to young people and the scarcity of vocations to religious and priestly life. The lack of concrete methodologies that help the priest or parish priest to carry out his mission.
The Objective is to grow and persevere in the values of the Christian life according to the vocation of each one, associating in small communities of perseverance that we call “Células en Alianza” so that the members become true: Brothers (communion), Disciples (Formation- Eucharistic), Apostles (Service-Charity).
Who are Células en Alianza. It is not a Prayer group but it looks for moments to pray in common and go together to the Eucharist. It is not a group of Bible or catechism, but it is aware that each of the members is participating in the teaching that allows them to deepen their faith.
Who are part of the cell. People who have lived an experience of evangelization from which faith and initial conversion springs. As a come and see retreat Ignatius Exercises or other retreats how important it is that the candidate can have a concrete experience of the first fundamental evangelization. It is not a working group to the community, however they encourage each other so that no one is left without the privilege of serving in a ministry.
When did you arrive at our parish? Células en Alianza came to our parish in the summer of 2012 with the name of Sagrada Familia.
