The Journey to Dynamic Disciple can begin at any point in our lives. For some, it begins with receiving the first Sacrament of Initiation, Baptism. With strong parents, godparents and faith community, the child follows a path of Trust, Openness, Curiosity, Seeking, and then as adults, becomes a Dynamic Disciple.

For still other adults, the Thresholds begin with only one encounter with a Dynamic Catholic who walks the road of faith with him/her. We refer to that person of faith as an Ananias. (ACTS 9:1 - 22)

​

With each Sacrament and each Threshold, the Holy Spirit is with us, guiding us as we travel the road to our final journey. With instructions, gifts and grace, we develop our various Charisms to help others and to enjoy the gifts from God that make our lives as Dynamic Disciples joyful and fruitful.
