The Federation of Koinonie John the Baptist is an association which unites the independent communities called "Koinonia John the Baptist" scattered throughout the world which are dedicated to New Evangelisation. Many of these associations enjoy ecclesial recognition such as Plzen e Hradec Kralove (CZ), Kosice, Banska Bystrica e Presov (SK), Hamburg (D), Getafe (E), Caltanissetta (I), Astorga (E) and are welcomed in various dioceses in the world: Los Angeles (USA), Gerusalemme (IL), Theuacán (MX), Elblag (PL), Wroclaw (PL), Brooklyn (USA).
This community reality was born in 1979 at the initiative of Fr. Ricardo Arganaraz who, together with a small group consisting of two brothers and one sister, and responding to the call to leave everything and follow Him, climbed up to an isolated mountain locality in the area of Vicenza called Camparmò where they began a consecrated life dedicated to prayer, work and study. In this solitude of the early years they moved forward putting down roots in a life of prayer, listening to the Word of God, of brotherly friendship and in the experience of the providential hand of God the Father who took care of them in every detail of this new way of life. The date of the birth of the community called "Koinonia John the Baptist" was officially fixed as 1st January 1979, the day of the Solemnity of Mary the Mother of God, on the occasion of a pilgrimage to the Holy House of Loreto.

SCHOOL OF EVANGELIZATION

KERYGMATIC FORMATION for New Evangelization

Our School of Evangelization wants to spread New Evangelization by means of kerygmatic formation. It is a kerygmatic school that is eminently practical. It uses an experimential method that permits a reproducible formation, giving others the ability to propose the kerygma (a reality-announcement which is the bearer of salvation) effectively and to multiply formers and formative structures.

Since 1991, the Koinonia School has contributed to the spreading of the Gospel, schools of evangelization and communities in 45 nations, bearing much fruit. The Koinonia has a worldwide federation of schools for which its centre of reference is the International School of Evangelization.
