On-Going
Opportunities |
| Ecumenical
Bible Study |
The
Ecumenical Bible Study Program begins each fall and concludes the
following Spring. Sessions are held on Wednesday Mornings starting
at 9:45 a.m. Announcements are published in the bulletin each September
as to what the study will be for the year and how to register. |
| Men's
Bible Study |
Men's
Bible Study meets every Saturday morning at 8:00 a.m. for
one hour. "God's" Word Today" is used as a study guide.
The guide focuses on one particular;ar book of the bible each month
with recommended readings for each day of the week. On Saturday the
previous week's readings are discussed. The group is also committed
to action supporting ministries in which the members are involved
within the parish and in outreach to the greater community with activities,
such as, adopting needy families. All men of the parish are welcome. |
| Small
Christian Communities |
Small
Faith Communities are groups of 8 - 15 parishioners who gather regularly
in one another's homes. In this era of "mega-parishes" it
can be difficult to feel as though one is really part of a faith community.
small Christian Communities exist for mutual support, for on-going
learning and formation in faith, for reflection on Scripture and Church
teaching, for encouragement and accountability of action inspired
by the gospel, and for prayer and worship. Anyone who is interested
in connection faith and life is most welcome to participate. |
Whole
Community Catechesis
As and alternative or in
addition to weekly Faith formation classes, we offer
a program for the who parish community., |
Once
a month families, singles, couples without children come together
to share faith and learn about God, the church and each other as whole
group or in age appropriate groupings. This group meets monthly on
scheduled Sundays from September through May. The program goes from
10:00 to 11:45 a.m. with the hope that the majority of folks will
attend the 12;00 mass concluding the faith sharing with the liturgy.
All will receive materials to work on at home to provide continuity
for the next meeting. You can register for this program through the
Religious Education/Faith Formation Office. |
