Grow Your Faith

Have you ever questioned how to grow your faith since your Baptism, First Holy Communion, Confirmation, and for some of us, Holy Matrimony? What do we believe in? Why does the Catholic Church teach certain things? What does the Bible teach us and what can we learn from it today?

  • There are many opportunities to grow and learn more our faith. One of them is our ongoing Bible Study series. These series are easy to follow and are offered during the year. Keep a lookout for upcoming Bible Studies in our weekly bulletin and just try it out.
  • Attend a “Bible in a Year Study Group” offered monthly.
  • Cursillo Weekend. Cursillo gives Catholic men and women in our parish an extraordinary opportunity to grow in their relationship with our Lord, while at the same time being accompanied by others sharing this path towards a stronger faith. To learn more about Cursillo, contact Rick Hoffman at cshoffman4@gmail.com
