About us
"In Christ, the new creation has come."
What is a
Pastoral Center?
Old River Pastoral Center is a space of New Evangelization where programs, volunteer work and courses are offered so that many can experience the New Life that Christ brings us.
The first and fundamental certainty that encourages us is that Christ and
the New Life that He offers is the first and most profound factor of change
and transformation of the person, his environment and the world.
Programs at the Pastoral Center
Our specific mission is to cultivate outreach programs
with a definitive beggining and end, designed to summon
those who seek to experience God more deeply.
Cenaculo is a program for
high school youth who desire to grow in their Christian life.
It is a space of prayer, friendship and service in the spirit of
the New Evangelization,
structured around the Corporal and Spiritual Works of Mercy.
A program for university students
who have been transformed by an encounter with the risen Christ.
Fragua fosters strong ties of
friendship, intense prayer moments,
and evangelization efforts that allow them to bring the mission to
their daily lives.
Academy is for young professionals who are invited to volunteer in programs of evangelization, such as taking on leaderships roles in Cenáculo and Fragua.
Through these experiences, they learn to use their talents in the service of others and hone their skills to be the light of Christ in their professional lives.
The Ambassadors program
reaches out to men, seeking to ignite their faith in Christ and to strengthen them in their lay vocation, so that
they may transform their
environment according to
the values of the Gospel.
Each man is called to live in configuration with Christ and
be formed to witness to the divine
life of Christ in every human aspect
of his own life – career, family,
and in service to others.
The Galilee program is
directed towards women who,
having encountered the transforming love of Jesus, endeavor to deepen
their faith and bear witness to Him through their example and their testimony, both in their family
and professional lives.
Like the women from Galilee that followed Jesus in His public life, they also serve Him through apostolic projects and Works of Mercy.
San Juan Diego is an evangelization program that reaches out to adults in the Hispanic community who have not yet encountered Jesus through the power of the Holy Spirit.
After providing the initial outreach, this program then becomes a school of Christian life for each person, through encouraging faith formation, growth in human virtues, and the development of evangelization skills, so that they become agents of change in their own communities.
