Small Groups
Our small group program fosters meaningful connections through the shared exploration of spiritual readings and books. Participants engage in brief email exchanges, discussing insights and reflections on the material, creating a supportive and enriching environment for growth. This format encourages thoughtful dialogue and a deeper understanding of faith in a flexible, accessible way.
Momentum
Founded by single mothers, Momentum's mission is to build a vibrant faith community for Catholic single mothers.
Eventide
Eventide (Last Tuesday of the month) - An evening of quiet contemplation and reflection with a candle light ceremony
Our adult faith formation program is designed to deepen the spiritual lives of parishioners through thoughtful study and reflection. We offer opportunities for adults to engage with teachings that strengthen their faith and understanding of Catholic tradition. Through guided discussions, readings, and communal learning, participants are encouraged to grow in their relationship with God and actively live out their faith.

We believe deeply in the importance of children being formed in their faith, through their parents, as a family. We offer formational and social family gatherings twice a month where we equip parents to teach the faith to their children through interactive activities.
