Has anyone heard of the spiritual movment of chemin-neuf? I believe that Ignatian spirituality is part of their spirituality as well as being part of the charismatic renewal.

Chemin-neuf is described as a Roman Catholic Community with an ecumenical vocation. It grew out of a prayer group in Lyon, France, in 1973. In 1984, the community was recognized as a Public Association of Christ’s Faithful.
This type of branching out from a charismatic base happens. The work of the Holy Spirit is not limited to one specific group.
Properly speaking, Chemin-neuf would be considered a Catholic “association” or “spiritual organization” which is not the same as the current Catholic Charismatic Renewal organization.
For information about local Chemin-neuf as well as information about local Catholic Charismatic Renewal groups, it is best to check with the Diocesan office or with a Church Pastor. In some dioceses, this would be part of the office of the Vicar for Spirituality.
