If you are a baptized Catholic who is curious about returning to the Church, please join us. Ask questions about what the Catholic Church teaches. Explore returning to an active faith life in the Church within a nonjudgmental, caring small community. Listen and share as seekers and team members discuss issues and pray together. A five week session during Lent will meet from 7:00pm to 8:30pm. Call for specific dates of sessions.

Liturgy Committee
Meets 4th Tuesday of the month at 7:30pm. This large group plans and prepares the many varied components of our beautiful liturgies. Coordination of the Advent and Lent liturgies is particularly complex. We often call upon volunteers to help make those liturgies the most inclusive and enriching as possible. Please help when called.
 Women's Guild
The Women's Guild builds community spirit. We are a group of women who are spiritual, very social, and serve our parish. The Guild generously supports charities for women and children. It is a group of women reaching out to women. We invite all women of the parish over 21 to join us.

Social Justice Calendar May 2012
