Jornadistas


Jornadas de Vida
Cristiana - (Days of Christian Life) is a Catholic
Youth Group Movement. Its foundation was in South America in the early
sixties is based on the Cursillo method and on teaching the belief in
youth evangelizing to other youth.
As with the Cursillo, the
"Jornadas" consists of two separate but essential aspects, the Weekend and
Follow Up. The purpose of the Weekend is
to bring the participants (males and females but the gentlemen go one
month, while the ladies go on the next month) to a deep experience of
God's Grace, this wonderful gift from the Father who makes us His sons and
friends. They come out of this experience not merely as
"Jornadistas" but as true disciples of Christ and committed
Christians
During the
1970's my wife Martha and I were honored to be part of this extremely
large group of youths in the state of New York and New Jersey. I was
fortunate to work in Camden New Jerseys first Jornada. Well as we married
and moved all over the world to raise our children and begin our new
careers, we are sad to say that we lost track of our friends who at the
time were so dear to us. Last summer my wife and I were searching a website to see if we could
find any Old Jornadistas and were excited to find out that Yolanda and
Dario Genao ( From Holy Cross) were only 3 hours from our Florida
home.
Sure
enough we made arrangements to visit them and sat for hours talking about
the good old days in which we immediately got on the computer and found
other Jornadistas still living in New York. At that time we agreed that
something had to be done to find our lost friends and designed this
website to some how, some way, bring us home
