What are small groups?

Small groups are groups of 6-12 people who generally have something in common (couples, men, women, moms, divorced, cancer support, etc.)

They meet on a regular basis depending on the schedules of the members

They may meet in each others' homes or at church

Faith sharing groups use a variety of resources.
They may choose to do a bible study, use a book with discussion questions, try a video or audio series or look at something completely new.

Some groups meet year round while others meet during specific times such as Lent or Advent. The atmosphere is relaxed.
There are no exams or grades! ☺

What are the benefits of being in a small group?

Establishing or growing in a relationship with Jesus Christ

Growing in your knowledge of the Bible

Growing in your understanding of your Catholic faith!

Forming strong friendships and wonderful support systems

Feeling and being an active part of your parish
