REDCAMP 2017 in Porto and in Vila Nova de Gaia

The next REDCAMP (Redemptorist Camp of Evangelization) will be held from 11 to 17 July 2017 in Porto and in Vila Nova de Gaia (Portugal).

Redcamp is organized by the New Missionary Initiatives Commission, which is part of the New Evangelization Secretariat of CRE. Previous Redcamps were held in Krakow (2014) and in Venice (2015).

The preparatory Commission, composed of Pedro Lopez (Spain), Pawel Drobot (Poland), Luigi Ramazzotti (Italy), Rui Santiago (Portugal), met on 18 to 19 October in Villa Nova de Gaia. The lay leaders of the youth communities and the lay missionaries from the pastoral centres of Porto and Gaia took part in this meeting.

The Commission prepared the programme for REDCAMP 2017. This evangelisation meeting will be composed of catechesis based on the biblical kerygma, workshops and the daily celebration of Holy Mass. The plan includes also a pilgrimage to the Marian shrine in Fatima and evangelisation meetings for residents and tourists on the streets in Porto.

Redcamp 2017 will finish on Sunday, July 16 with the celebration of the Feast of the Most Holy Redeemer.
