FAITH FORMATION
ADULT CATECHISM
Small groups of parishioners meet weekly to strengthen their faith through a study of the teachings of the Church using the United States Catholic Catechism for Adults. Sister Mary Catherine is the leader for this group.
DISCIPLES IN MISSION
More than 120 parishioners meet in the homes of their fellow parishioner or in the Parish Center to participate in small faith sharing groups during Lent to explore the Sunday scriptures and examine their baptismal mission of discipleship during the three-year cycle of Lenten readings.
Disciples in Mission helps them participate in the evangelization plan of the United States bishops, "Go and Make Disciples" which is sponsored by the Archdiocese of Baltimore in partnership with the Paulist National Catholic Evangelization Association.
Registration is announced in the Parish Bulletin and the Monthly Calendar and is done after Mass in the Church vestibule or over the phone. Participants sign up for a small group meeting at a time and location convenient to them.
PRAYING WITH SCRIPTURE
A faith-sharing group that meets monthly to reflect on scripture passages, and to discuss how they relate to our present lives. Any parishioner is welcome to join. However, group size is limited to 15 participants due to space limitations. Meetings are on the fourth Monday of the month at 7:30 P.M.
