    • What are Small Faith Sharing Groups?

      Small Faith Sharing Groups are comprised of adults, at all stages of faith, that experience a lifelong conversion to Christ through learning the essential teachings of Scripture and the Catholic church in bible study, spiritual readings, and apostolic service. 
      Small Faith Sharing Groups are not new.  The Church, from the beginning,  thrived among small groups of disciples.  Jesus began with 12 Apostles.  St. Paul often refers to small groups of disciples.  
      We hope that we can provide information and resources for your current Small Faith Sharing Group or if you are wanting to start one with your friends or family.  If you have any questions please contact Deacon Kevin Woodvine. Contact information can be found at the bottom of the page. 
      If you are not part of a group and would like to be part of a Small Faith Sharing Community, click HERE to fill out the inquiry form. 
      If you are part of a small faith sharing group and would like resources for your small group please  visit these recommended sites by clicking on their name.

       

      Lent 2023 

      Make a six-week retreat by exploring the Sunday readings of Lent with Lenten Longings: Let Yourself Be... for Year A.

      Lent invites us to a time of prayer, reflection, and conversion. Make a six-week retreat by exploring the Sunday readings of Lent. Simple language and everyday metaphors steep you in the season’s promptings to surrender self, work for justice, and deepen prayer life.

      To order the Lenten Longings book please click on the Book Order Form button found at the top of this page. 
      E-books can be ordered directly from Amazon, Barnes & Nobles, or iTunes.  If you wish to order an E-book do not complete the order form. 

    • After ordering when can I pick up my Lenten Longings book?

      The books will be available for pick up on Sunday, February 19th at Noon after the 11am Mass in the PLC.  
      At the pick up event, we will have a blessing of the books and the small groups.  We will also have coffee and snacks available!

    • Tips for structuring a small group

      • Welcoming (5-10 mins.) This is a time for the leader and group member to do some visiting
      • Opening Prayer (5 mins.) This is a time to get focused and invite our Lord to guide the group and the discussion.  The "Our Father" or another prayer may be said during this time.
      • Discussion Time (30-40 mins.) This is the time to discuss the study questions for the weekly lesson or chapter.  Participants may be expected to have read the lesson material and answered the study questions prior to each group meeting. Another option is the lesson material could be read and the questions answered during the time together.
      • Closing Prayer (5 mins.) This is a time to bring closure to the discussion, pray about what has been talked about, and allow time for any other special intentions from group members.  The "Hail Mary" or another prayer may be said during this time. 
      • Socializing Time (5-10 mins.)  The leader and/or group members may decide that this is a time they would like to have a snack and beverages available.
