CANA universe

In this country in crisis, re-launching the CANA mission with a "real" face-to-face session is a priority. G. CORMIER travelled to Lebanon to train them in the "Fraternal Life" session.

CANA started in Senegal in July 2021. Ten months later, the CANA mission is eager to move forward and grow as fast as possible. The formation of couples is essential.

This month, CANA News focuses on recent developments in the CANA Welcome programme. This programme is the fruit of the Chemin Neuf Community's CANA mission, which has been accompanying couples and families in nearly 50 countries for more than 40 years.  

Nine main topics are treated for each of the 9 meetings along CANA Welcome’s journey. They are practical, well anchored in daily life; they follow a pedagogical progression so that each couple can build together a solid base and a common project. In this article, we summarise how one of these topics is addressed.
