More than a program, it is ‘a way of being parish’
“My faith and spiritual journey are so inspired as my small group discusses how we can be the hands and feet of Jesus in caring for our loved ones and those in our small group community.”
– Julie Munch, St. Michael, Prior Lake.
Small group members bring varied experiences, find unity in Christ
Small groups bring community, formation and evangelization
“I have enjoyed sharing my faith and growing in my faith with other couples from St. Mike’s (St. Michael, Prior Lake). Some of the relationships I’ve had with the couples in our groups have been due to a common interest, our church choir, for example, and WINE (Women in the New Evangelization). Yet, the friendships have grown in a much deeper way. When you share in these groups, from a faith-based lens, the intimacy in the relationships grows exponentially. The videos we’ve used from the archdiocese; our great host couple, Joan and Val; using questions to encourage our discussions and sharing from others have all contributed to my spiritual growth and desire to learn more about our faith.”
