By gathering together for fellowship in small groups, we can build each other up and be renewed in faith. Our small groups afford us opportunities to pray together, learn together and share our faith. Truth, goodness and beauty all come from God and they lift up our hearts and fill us with joy in the midst of life’s difficulties. In these times, it is essential that we seek out these gifts from God, that we intentionally seek to nourish our faith. A number of small groups have been in existence in our parishes and have been meeting regularly. They are listed below along with new small groups which have been or are being formed and will begin meeting soon. Take a look at the different groups and pick one that fits your schedule and then make a commitment to attend. You will be glad you did.
