We are starting a dynamic parish-wide program that offers a way to explore and deepen our call to discipleship through an engaging small-group process. There will be 7, two hour sessions with a Small Christian Community. Each group will have will have 6 – 10 people based on registration preferences. Each session includes prayer, reflection on Sacred Scripture, inspiring stories of “good news people,” focus on a weekly virtue, and woven through it all, opportunities for sharing in dialogue. The last step will be an immersion experience to witness Christ in action. This is an opportunity to expand your faith wherever you may be on your spiritual journey.
