Formation
| "Opportunities
will be provided for all to learn what it means to be a
Catholic and experience a Christian life. "We can not love
what we do not know" will be our guide. Special emphasis
will be given to involving parents with their children, to
attracting the young people of our Parish, and to
attracting all people to understand, explore more freely and
embrace their faith. " |

Bible Study
- Our purpose is to know the Bible so as to know the Lord.
Bible Study Groups, ranging
from five to none members, gather once a week to prayerfully
read and to study the Scripture (Gospel, epistle, psalm and
Old Testament readings) for the upcoming Sunday. Members are
provided with a commentary to guide the study.
All parishioners are
welcome to join an existing group or to start a new group.
Group members decide on the day, time and location of their
meetings. No special skills or experiences are required,
only a willingness to learn more about the bible.
Please contact any of our
coordinators for more information about joining and existing
group or starting a new group. |

natural way.

| Pre-Cana
- The first step for Marriage Preparation is to call the
church office (556-0801). Married couples work one-on-one with engaged couples to
complete pre-marriage requirements. Sessions are guided by a
workbook and instructional guides. Married couples who want
to volunteer for the program must be married for at least
five years. Training is provided prior to meeting with the
engaged couples. The married volunteers will meet with 2 to
5 engaged couples per year. Commitment of time and schedule
are very flexible. |
