Via de Cristo is a Christian movement that focuses on spiritual renewal and growth. It originated in the 1940s in Spain and has since spread to various countries, including the United States. The program emphasizes the importance of community, personal faith, and service to others through a series of retreats and gatherings. Participants engage in a three-day retreat, where they learn about Christian teachings, share experiences, and build relationships with fellow believers. The movement encourages individuals to live out their faith actively and to support one another in their spiritual journeys, fostering a sense of belonging within the Christian community.
