Small Groups:
Foyers
Foyers are small groups of approximately 8-12 parishioners who gather for a light meal and casual fellowship. While the initial construction of each Foyer is setup by coordinators, each Foyer - once formed - is welcome to create its own meeting schedule. Typically, Foyers will meet every four tosix weeks, on a rotating basis in one another's homes. Meetings are approximately two hours long and involve a light meal and relaxed conversation. Foyers are a great way to connect different individuals and age groups in the parish. Although our current Foyers are already in progress, new Foyers will be forming early in 2009.
Spiritual Journey Groups
These are small groups of 5-8members that form throughout the year. Facilitators assist in creating each group, which then meets to define its own schedule, expectations, and guidelines. At each meeting, one member of the group shares his/her personal faith with any forms of media they may wish to include (music, pictures, poems, etc.) Other group members have an opportunity to respond. After each member has shared his/her story, the initial commitment of the group is complete. Spiritual Journey Groups are an excellent way to explore the different ways God brings us together and to get to know fellow parishioners on a deeper level.
