Our
faith sharing communities are powered by the Holy Spirit and
bring our parish together to live out the gospel message and
celebrate our faith in our daily lives.
The
parish is meant to foster two basic realities: an experience
of love and an experience of faith. The primary basic is love.
Whatever else a Catholic knows, he or she must absolutely know
that he or she is loved by the people of the Church.
The
second basic is faith. God becomes more real for us when we
share our faith - or lack of it - with one another because
sharing helps us notice God and take God seriously. God has to
be found in everyday life.
Faith
and love are experiences. The more these experiences are
shared, the more people notice God and God’s call to be
Church for one another. This usually can only happen in a
small group or community. Our community sharing leads us to
action.
Volunteer
& Participant Opportunities
Service
in this ministry can happen in a variety of ways - as active
members of a small church community, as leaders, hosts and as
members of a core community. The benefits are shared love and
faith - for the individual, for the group and for the larger
community.
