Frontpage Interview’s guest today is Giuseppe Gennarini, a former

journalist who has been working since 1975 in the U.S. introducing the

“Neo-Catechumenal Way,” an itinerary of faith within the Catholic Church

that seeks renewal by working at the grass roots

level in thousands of parishes throughout the world. The

Neo-Catechumenal Way works to strengthen the relationship between

Christian and Jews and to help Catholics rediscover the Jewish roots of

their faith. There are an estimated 30,000 such communities throughout

the World, with roughly one million and a half members.

Gennarini has recently helped organize a concert at the Lincoln

Center titled “The Suffering of the Innocents, A Symphonic Homage and

Prayer.” It will be performed on May 6th

in the Boston Symphony Hall, on May 8th in Avery Fisher Hall-Lincoln Center in New York City

and on May 14 in Chicago Orchestra Hall. The will be also a

performance in a Synagogue in Teaneck with a scaled down version of the

concert to give opportunity to other Jewish people to attend. For more

information on all of these performances and

how to attend, click here.

The Symphony was composed by Kiko Argüello, the initiator of the

Neo-Catechumenal Way, as homage to all innocent victims and especially

those of the

Shoah. It is not only a beautiful musical performance, but also

an event of meditation and friendship between Jews and Christians. It

was performed for the first time in January of last year in the Vatican

before Pope Benedict XVI, then in Galilee,

Paris, Madrid, Düsseldorf and finally, in December of last year, in

Jerusalem, at the Gerard Bechar Theater. It is now coming to New York,

Chicago and Boston and being welcomed with enthusiasm by many Cardinals,

Bishops, Rabbis and prominent leaders in the

Jewish world.
