Your CLC group is invited to celebrate the Ignatian Year by taking a fresh look at Discernment. Here is the material for five meetings, culminating in a Communal Discernment. This material has been prepared for all Australian CLC groups taking into account the wide range of experiences within them. Some groups are very new, and other groups have been together for more than thirty years.

We offer a preparatory process for CLC members considering making commitment to CLC in Australia.

CLC sees itself as called ‘to become a lay apostolic body that shares responsibility for mission in the Church”. (Nairobi 2003) As a key for sharing responsibility in mission as an apostolic body, the four-fold process of Discerning, Sending, Supporting and Evaluating (DSSE) was named. This tool can be used to assist you in EVALUATING some area of activity and could lead to a further DISCERNMENT and then being SENT by you group and being SUPPORTED through your regular sharing within your group.
