Adult Small Faith Groups
Small Faith Groups are made up of 8-12 people who meet in homes with a trained facilitator. The five components of each Small Faith Group are: Sharing, Learning, Mutual Support, Mission, and Prayer. The "texts" used are the readings of the upcoming Sunday. All groups use some kind of commentary on the readings to facilitate study, discussion, and prayer. A variety of groups meet in the fall and in Lent. Year-round groups are also available. For more information, call Julie Davis at 835-6777 x232. |

Spiritual Enrichment Opportunities |
Women's Retreat Day
Christ Renews for Women is an on-going process for personal spiritual renewal of women over the age of 18 that results in the renewal of our faith community. The process begins with a weekend of prayer, reflections, fun, and discussion. The many activities include: prayer, reflection, talks, small group discussions, social activities, all in a relaxed, prayerful, and caring atmosphere. Participants are free to share as much or as little as they wish. Men's Fall Morning of Reflection is a great way to get a "taste" of men's fellowship here in the parish. The morning is filled with prayer, presentation, discussion, reflection and community. Men's Retreat Day is a full day of prayer, reflection, quiet time and enrichment. |
