What is a Small Faith Group?

The norm is that a group of 6 to 12 people meets weekly for about an hour and a half to two hours at somebody’s house. To view the brochure, click brochure.  

What do you do in a Small Faith Group?

1. Welcoming / Fellowship [10 minutes]
2. Opening Prayer / Sing [5 minutes]
3. Read the Gospel from the upcoming Sunday Mass, and the reflection in the book. [5 minutes]
4. Share each other’s thoughts, insights, personal experiences
   regarding the scripture passage. [40 minutes]
5. Share praises and prayer requests, then pray together for
   each other’s intentions. [10 minutes]
6. From the weekly parish bulletin, read Pastor’s letter and any other highlights and important events. [5 minutes]
7. Marian Prayer (Magnificat, Hail Mary, Salve Regina, etc.)

What books do we need?

• The New American Bible
• The PrayerTime book from Renew. (Optional. Your facilitator will provide you with one. Costs $15.)
• The Catechism of the Catholic Church (Optional. Available at most bookstores. An indispensable resource!)

How long is the commitment?

As a general norm, each group would meet for about 10 to 15 weeks followed by a break. Each group is free to keep meeting during the break. Before a new 10 to 15 week commitment period begins, each group will determine whether to continue as before, or shuffle around members.
