• Christ Renews His Parish

  Christ Renews His Parish is an overnight retreat at the church in which men and women renew their faith through the power and presence of the Holy Spirit. These retreats are a great way to grow in faith and fellowship with other parishioners. Those who have participated in a Christ Renews His Parish weekend truly become renewed and can’t wait to have someone else reap the same rewards. Working with our pastor, the leaders of this ministry themselves gain numerous benefits and grow in their desire to share their love for Christ and his teachings.

• Hearts A Fire Programs

  The Hearts AFire program is a set of series of retreats/studies based of the books of Fr. Michael Gaitley. Each class begins with a video presentation and then small groups meet in personal discussion of that week's readings. While Fr. Micael Gaitley suggests a specific order for participating in each study, you are welcome to join at any time for any of the group studies/retreats. To learn more about the Hearts AFire program, click here. Many parishioners have given testimony to the power of this group to help them grow in faith, fellowship, and meet fellow parishioners. 

• Kingdom Builders

  Kingdom Builders invites all women to claim their inheritance of peace and joy. They gather together the fourth Thursday of the month at 7:00 pm.
  
  The Kingdom Builders mission is to build God's Kingdom within the heart of every woman. Kingdom Builders empowers women to listen to the prompting of the Holy Spirit in setting goals in our physical health, family dynamics, holy friendships, strong marriages, and more. These are all part of what St. John Paul II referred to as our feminine genius.. We want to honor God in all these areas of our life.
  
  Each meeting, we realize who God is through the Scripture based teaching. We receive who God is during Eucharistic Exposition. God reveals who we are through personal prayer and planning. Realize, Receive, Reveal.
  
  This is an invitation for God's beloved daughters to take the time to be loved and transformed by our Heavenly Father. Learn more at www.buildingthroughhim.com.
