Adult Faith Study Groups
Each of us is called to nurture our relationship with God through faithful reading and understanding of His Word. Several groups meet throughout the year to study how God has revealed His Love for us in the past, leading to a discussion about how we can see God working in our lives today. Groups may choose to study a book of the Bible, a section of the Catholic Catechism, a book or novel containing a Christian theme, or various other Christian topics. Faith Study Groups are in session throughout the year, meeting once a week at various times during the day and evening. Men and women who are interested in exploring their faith in a supportive, nurturing atmosphere are welcome at any time. No previous classes or experience is necessary.
Baptism Host Ministry
welcome feeling of community to families who have chosen
to bring their children to the Sacrament of Baptism.. A host
couple is needed to attend a one hour, pre-baptismal parent
meeting and give a short talk about their personal experience
of this sacrament. The host couple can expect to spend
approximately two hours time per year involved in this ministry.
We welcome men and women who are willing to share their
spiritual experience about the baptism of their children with
other parents during this joyful time of life.
The Christian Initiation process is a sharing of the Catholic Christian faith with individuals who have not yet been baptized (catechumen), baptized non-Catholics and baptized Catholics (candidates) who have not received First Communion. It is a team approach fostering faith and community. The curriculum includes a study of the Sacraments, Scripture, Trinity, morality, and social justice. Classes begin in September and conclude at Pentecost. Volunteers are needed to be sponsors, agreeing to walk the faith journey with the candidates and catechumens. You will be asked to attend Liturgy and catechesis with the person you are sponsoring. Meetings take place after the 8:00 am Sunday Mass and usually finish at 10:30 am.
