Adult Faith Groups

Small Faith-Sharing Groups

Small groups of 8-12 parishioners meet here at the Centre or in members' homes for six weeks during the Fall and/or Lenten season. During the meetings a topic is read and discussed, there is time for faith sharing and some quiet time for prayer and reflection. No formal training or scriptural background is needed. Topics may include the current weekly scripture from the Sunday liturgy, an examination of some aspect of Christian prayer, mission or spirituality. Small groups are powerful vehicles for making new friends, learning prayer, mutual support and the shared experience of living out our faith in everyday life.

Participation in small groups helps

1) you get to know others in the Community,
2) enables you to strengthen and grow in faith,
3) is FUN! (Ask someone who has participated!)

All community members are encouraged to consider a small group at least once a year.

Catholicism Group will resume Sunday, January 22nd to watch Father Baron's Catholicism series in the Theater Room following the 8AM Mass. All are welcome to come! Fr. Robert Barron created this groundbreaking program as a thematic presentation of what Catholics believe and why, so all adults can come to a deeper understanding of the Catholic Faith. Not a video lecture, Church history or scripture study, this engaging and interesting formational program uses the art, architecture, literature, music and all the treasures of the Catholic tradition to illuminate the timeless teachings of the Church.

WHY CATHOLIC? – Meetings have resumed on Sundays at 9:20 AM in the Abraham & Sarah Room.  This small group offers participants a way to grow by taking greater personal ownership of their faith, helping them to move from an inherited faith to one of deep personal conviction.  Assists with better understanding the Catholic faith.  ?Q? call Jan Lennon, 301-855-6319 or Mary Otranto, 301-855-2689.
