Small Church Communities


Our Vision: Small Church Communities are groups of 8 to 10 people called together to share their faith as it is nourished and connected to the word of God in a community of prayer, support and fellowship. This nourishment and connection sends the groups forward to be of service.

What is a Small Church Community?

A Small Church Community is comprised of 8 to 10 parishioners that gather weekly or biweekly for prayer, scripture reading and discussion of focused questions, faith sharing, fellowship and spirituality. Members share their story by bringing their experiences into dialogue with their faith through the light of the Gospel.

Why join a Small Church Community?

Small Church Communities offer participants an opportunity to learn more about their relationship with God, a sense of belonging, spiritual nourishment, a new way of participating in parish life and being church, a source of social life and it satisfies a hunger for community.

What do Small Church Community members say?

After listening to the personal stories and testimonies of others, I have a deeper sense of a personal relationship with God.”

“Having people who pray with and for me, gives me strength.”

If you would like to grow in your faith life with other fellow parishioners, seriously consider joining a Small Church Community today!
