The LCS is an integrated course intended to lead the program participants into a renewed understanding of God's call to them as Christian families and individuals. It runs for a total of 8 separate sessions, usually held once a week. Most sessions consist of three basic ingredients: a teaching, a group discussion, and a time for fellowship. Each session would normally last for about 2 hours.
The LCS has two basic purposes: evangelism and spiritual renewal.
To evangelize is to take the basic message of Christianity and to proclaim it anew so that those who hear it can make a renewed commitment to the Lord in a way, which will allow them to receive a fuller experience of the work of the Holy Spirit in their lives.
For the individual, it brings a person into a stronger relationship with God by discovering and living more fully the power and gifts he or she received through the Holy Spirit.
For the family, it brings married couples and individual members of the family into a renewed commitment to Christian family life and it starts to build up a community of committed Christian families.
For the Church, it brings people who already have a clear identification with a particular parish to a fuller experience of life in the Spirit. It also strengthens and revitalizes community life in the parish itself.
