Are you ready to begin 2013 in the right direction?
Discovering Christ, a seven week experience. Have you ever wondered, How can I begin a better life?, or Why does Jesus matter? We would like to invite you to ponder these questions and others like them in a program called Discovering Christ. This is an opportunity to share a meal, fellowship, encouragement and some important discussion time. You would be our guest for dinner each week and then you will view a presentation that will address these questions. This is an opportunity for you to think deeply about your life and how you would like to live it. The time you spend with us could potentially be life-changing.

Small Groups This organization provides groups of 10 to 12 people the opportunity to know God and Gods love by establishing bonds of faith, hope and love with one another and with the community at large. They accomplish this through dialogue, reflection, prayer, social interaction and a trusting commitment to each other and to the faith they share. Join a group with a date and time that meets your schedule. Small groups will be meeting from February 11th-March 22nd. Registration will made available in the bulletin in weeks to come.

Mens Cornerstone Retreat, The retreat provides an atmosphere for men to revitalize their relationship with God. It is an invitation to engage in quiet reflective time; to become more actively involved in one's spiritual development; and a time to meet parishioners. In doing so, it enhances the building of community. Cornerstone is a renewal process calling together members of the parish to experience personal conversion and Christian Community in the environment of our parish setting. There are opportunities for prayer, reflection, talks, small group discussion, and the Sacraments of Reconciliation and Eucharist. Saturday April 13th from 8:00 am-5:00 pm. Registration begins in March. Adventure in Revelation, a bible study. DVD presentations are narrated by Jeff Cavins. He explores Revelation to demonstrate how the Kingdom established by Christ in His Church is intimately connected with the Kingdom of Heaven, especially through the celebration of the Mass. You will also learn what all the mysterious figures and images of Revelation represent, as well as what will happen during the Second Coming of Christ, what has already happened, and what is happening now in salvation history. Scheduled after Easter- for 10 weeks from 7:00-9:00 pm on April 9, 30, May 7, 21, 28, June 4, 11, 18, and 25th. Registration will made available in the bulletin in March. Womens Retreat, "A day of spiritual renewal for women - a time to listen, to share, to pray, and to be pampered just a bit." Saturday, April 27th from 8:30 am-6:00 pm. Women become more actively involved in their spiritual development by examining their own stories, reflecting upon others, forming meaningful relationships, and building community with God. Registration will made available in the bulletin in March. Following Christ, a seven week program with a retreat. Following Christ is what is next after Discovering Christ. This stage requires formation and discipleship. For all those who attended Discovering Christ and who want to continue together there are some basic disciplines regarding personally being a follower of the Lord Jesus as Catholics. Being a Christian is about a new way of living in our daily lives, not only on Sundays or the life to come! Our goal is to help people mature in Christ (Col 1:28). Those attending the course would understand that they would be making a commitment to grow in their relationship with the Lord Jesus and the Church by taking certain practical actions following each of the sessions. 7:30-9:00 pm on Oct. 1, 8, 15, 22, 29, November 5, 12 and mini retreat on Saturday, November 2nd from 8:30 am-1:30 pm.
