Apostoli Viae Local Small Groups 

This page lists all Apostoli Viae (AV) Small Groups to date.

AV Small Groups meet locally and in person (whenever possible). The purpose of an AV Small Group is to provide opportunity for authentic encounter with Christ through the Gospels and in one another, to foster and encourage community, to foster and encourage the habit of daily mental prayer, and to provide basic formation through recommended book studies. One does not need to be a member of AV to be in an AV Small Group. The purpose of AV Small Groups is not to recruit to AV. 

If there is a group in your area and you would like to learn more about it, please click the [Click HERE] associated with the group near you. If there is no option to [Click HERE], please type the group leader's name in the Search and send a note to him/her through this site.

If you are interested in learning more about AV Small Groups or perhaps freely discern whether the Lord may be calling you to lead an AV Small Group in your local community, we invite you to join this group:  https://www.apostoliviae.org/groups/seeking-av-small-group-leadership
