SOME INDICATIONS FOR RUNNING THE KNOW-YOUR-NEIGHBOUR MEETINGS
- SOMES REGULATIONS
- Know Your Neighbour meetings are encouraged to rotate from home to home so that even those who do not attend the meeting regularly can host it. The date and time of meetings should be announced in church.
- New members should be welcomed in quarters.
- The sharing of the Word of God should be done in the language that can be best understood. Pidgin should be encouraged.
- Meetings should hold at least twice a month (or ideally every week).
- Know Your Neighbour communities should have a patron saint.
- Pastoral tours by the priest should be organized yearly. However for special reasons Know Your Neighbours can solicit the presence of the priest at any time.
- Registration for Catechesis is organized at the level of Know Your Neighbour communities.
- All requests of parishioners should pass through the moderators at the level of quarters. This is to reinforce the full participation of Christians in church’s activities at all levels.
