Archbishop Hebda is asking everyone within their parish to participate in a small group this Lent, with the focus being evangelistic and community based. Here at St. Odilia, you will have an opportunity to learn more and share your interest in participating in these upcoming small groups. Complete the SMALL GROUP PARTICIPANT INTEREST FORM and let us know your time preferences.
Small Groups for the Person That’s ‘Not a Small Group Person’
This Lent, our parish is launching a new way of being parish – through a new type of small groups. Imagine a group that meets you where you are and helps you take the next step in your faith journey. Imagine group leaders that welcome new members (in word and deed), so that you don’t feel like the “odd person out.” Imagine deep prayer, sharing and community. Now stop imagining – and join a small group this Lent!
Give me three good reasons to join a small group.
Challenge accepted! Our parish is launching a small group ministry that will:
foster personal relationships,
build community, and
provide formation, so we all may grow as joyful missionary disciples of Christ.
The small group sessions will last about an hour and a half. Many of the groups will meet at a leader's home, or some other location chosen by the group. If you have any questions about the process of joining a small group. please do not hesitate to reach out to Lucas Lahlum, Coordinator of Adult Formation, [email protected] or by phone: 651-415-3343.
