We formed a group of Associates in 2010 and although today we don’t have great numbers, our meetings and activities are full and include helping members to get to  know the CND charism and apostolates. Our program over the last 2 years has focused on accompanying them in studying the bible and in sharing how to live their daily lives in the light of the Lord with him as their guide. They feel great joy as laity in being part of the Congregation CND.

Another joy lies in training lay volunteers to work at the Diocesan Heritage Centre. We train laity in conservation technology, that is, they learn how to preserve liturgical artefacts and works of sacred art. Our purpose in exhibiting these precious works of art is so that the public can view them. People feel great joy when they visit the exhibition centre.
