Discipleship Quads
Meetings: Weekly, varying days by group
Discipleship Quads are groups of 4 or more who meet weekly throughout the year to help each other be disciples of Christ. The people in our Quads make a strong commitment to come every week. This is an opportunity to grow with others and with God. The friendships you make in this group will be life-changing and long-lasting!Evangelization Support Small Groups

These support groups often meet once per month to help each other grow in their relationship with Jesus, to support one another in evangelization efforts, to share experiences, and to explore new ways to evangelize.She Shall Be Called Woman
Meetings: Weekly; Two offered each week (Tuesday or Wednesday Evening)
She Shall Be Called Woman is a Catholic Women's program created by Paradisus Dei. The program is rooted in Scripture and the teachings of the Catholic Church. It is a program that invites all women to grow in their relationship
with Christ and discover their true dignity, identity and purpose.
Through engaging videos, meaningful conversations, prayer and fellowship, women are encouraged and supported as they deepen their faith, strengthen their relationships and grow in holiness. This program is designed for women in every season of life and offers a welcoming and supportive community where they can encounter God's love and be inspired to live their faith in everyday life.That Man is You
Meetings: Weekly, Wednesday Early Mornings
That Man is Youis a Catholic men’s leadership program for parishes that enables men to “Become a Man After God's Own Heart”. It addresses the pressures and temptations that men face in our modern culture, especially those relating to their roles as husbands and fathers. The program harmonizes current social and medical science with the teachings of the Church and the wisdom of the saints to develop the vision of man fully alive!Well Read Moms
Meetings: Monthly
Read More, Read Well It can be a challenge to make time to read in a world that never stops. Developing and maintaining the ability for deep reading isn’t something we can take for granted. Millions of Americans won’t read a single book this year. You won’t be one of them. https:/wellreadmom.comCoffee and Catholicism
Meetings: Weekly, Monday Mornings
Coffee and Catholicism meets on Monday mornings to learn all about our faith from basic early teachings, to Bible studies, to understanding why Catholics practice and give the Lord praise as Catholics do. They start by praying the Rosary (optional) in church then we meet informally for one hour. We learn using a variety of teaching sources such as videos, group discussion, and Scripture. The group determines from week to week what we would like to cover in upcoming sessions. This is a great opportunity to ask questions and gain understanding about our wonderful faith. And the coffee is on us!Divine Comedy Book Club
A group of men are meeting as they read through the Divine Comedy, which is an epic Italian narrative poem by Dante Alighieri. It is written in the early 14 th century, that chronicles a fictional journey through Hell (Inferno), Purgatory (Purgatorio), and Paradise (Paradiso). Guided first by the Roman poet Virgil and later by his beloved Beatrice, the poem is an allegory for the soul's journey to salvation, exploring themes of sin, redemption, and divine justice through a medieval Christian worldview. It is structured into three parts, each with 33 cantos (plus an introductory canto in Inferno), and uses a three-line rhyme scheme called terza rima.
