Our way of life is expressed in the Common Elements of the Disciples of Jesus Covenant Community. It is lived out on a daily basis through our shared life. This involves weekly small group discussion and sharing, communal prayer, social activities, and evangelising mission. In addition to our personal daily prayer, many of our members take a hour or so a week to pray before the Blessed Sacrament, particularly in the Chapel at our Community Centre, and the Holy Spirit Parish Church. The Parish Priest, Father Tom Phelan, who is a member of the Community, is a spiritual dynamo and we are very blessed through his ministry. So too are Father Doug Harris (Glendalough Parish) and Father Wayne Bendotti (Narrogin/Wagin Parish)

Prayer vigils and Novenas in preparation for coming events are part of our way of life. In addition to the immense spiritual blessings we receive personally and collectively, we benefit also from the growth in relationships ...... something happens when we pray together!! (Someone once said, "When people work, people work ... but when people pray, God works".)

The Community is represented on the State Service Committee of the Catholic Charismatic Renewal, and as a consequence of this we participate in organising Diocescan wide Rallies, Conferences (eg Pentecost) and special Masses.

We have a strong focus on youth. 24:7 Youth Ministry (check out their website!) has its weekly Friday night Youth Group, and it also runs lunchtime activities in several Catholic High Schools. This is designed to support our fulltime Evangelists - the Youth Mission Team - who run High School retreats and weekends. These guys are dynamic. They 'walk the talk' and their radical lifestyle of prayer and mission is truly inspirational.

In 2005 we commenced a Catholic Bible College, based in our Perth Community Centre. The Acts 2 College of Mission & Evangelisation is about fostering a change in your life. The kind of change that only God can bring. The kind of change that helps you focus your life. The kind of change that can have a positive impact on your world. The College is ideal for people who may have drifted from the Church, as well as those who seek an alive and active faith.

Life in the Spirit, and Living a New Life in the Spirit, seminars are held regularly in the Community Centre. Upwards of 50 people particpate in these life changing seminars.

We are also involved in ecumenical activities such as the "Leadership Summit ", Church Together, youth outreaches, etc.

Community Gatherings

Sunday is the Lord's Day. Each Sunday afternoon, we have the opportunity to gather together in praise and worship of God, and to encourage one another.
