CANA USA
Long before the establishment of the Community in New York, Chemin Neuf has been ministering in the US through the Cana Program for couples. It started back in 2001 in Boston and is now very active in California, and started on the East Coast in 2024.
CANA welcomes those who want to deepen their relationship as a couple. CANA monthly sharing groups, weekend and one-day retreats, CANA@Home, and week-long retreats are consistently a place of refreshment, encouragement and renewal. We welcome you to rediscover the beauty of marriage and taste the loving presence of God.
Dates for 25-26 are now available on the Cana USA website – events in New York, Washington DC, and California
Where we live
OUR FRATERNITY
MORNINGSIDE HEIGHTS,
NEW YORK CITY
In 2019 the Cathedral Church of Saint John Divine, seat of the Episcopal Diocese of New York, invited members of Chemin Neuf to live as a praying and serving community on the Close and help run a formation program for young people (the Community at the Crossing).
There is currently a fraternity of brothers and sisters living on site, involved in the life of the Cathedral at different levels and working to further the unity of Christians in the city of New York.
Community members pray together daily. However, it is not possible to participate in all manners of worship in the same way altogether. In accordance with the sacramental discipline of the Roman Catholic Church, Roman Catholic mass is not celebrated in the cathedral, but will be celebrated for the Roman Catholics living on the precinct in a separate oratory on the Close.
