All are encouraged to attend this strong community and faith building program offered at the parish level. Small community faith sharing groups usually meet in the homes of those that have volunteered to be small community leaders. Recommended group size is 10 – 12 people. Meetings typically last 90 minutes and meet once a week for six consecutive weeks. Session I in the fall prior to Advent and Session II in the spring during Lent, ending prior to Holy week.
Annual Diocesan meetings for small community leaders (new and existing) are offered every August to “kick-off” the new year. For this year’s August schedule,
