Life Ascending International

Australia

A Christian Movement for those in their middle and later years.

 Vie Montante (Life Ascending) offers us a community of sharing and mutual help.  It helps us to discern the mission of each one according to his/her capabilities, and to live it out each day.  It helps us to open up to the action of the Holy Spirit, for it is the Holy Spirit who gives us the grace to accept God's love and to share it with others.  In this way we testify to the happiness of living in the hope of the Lord.

Life Ascending was introduced into Australia in 1999.  Groups have been set up in a number of parishes mostly in Sydney but also in other cities.  Life Ascending is based on three qualities of life:  Spirituality' Loving Service and Friendship

"All human life provides opportunities for growth and development, and the latter part of our lives is no exception.  Indeed there is then more time and still much to do.  We remain spiritually young.  We have a mission to fulfil and friendship to share and receive, and Life Ascending exists to enable older people to do just that: 
to come together in friendship
to deepen their spirituality and
to find a joyful fulfilment through Christian witness."
Bishop Howard Tripp, Episcopal Adviser to the Movement in England

The Life Ascending Movement is for Catholics and all Christians in their middle and later years.  (Christians of all denominations are welcome.)  Groups usually meet in parishes to support each other through the three core values mentioned by Bishop Tripp.

You are invited to "come and see" to meetings at Parish Centre, Tarrilli St Beverly Hills on 2nd and 3rd Fridays of each month at 2.30pm.
