What is a Small Group? 
A small group is a group of 6-8 adults who commit to gather together on a regular basis to eat, share life, ask questions, learn, grown, support, pray and accompany one another in their faith journey through life’s challenges. 

Why Small Groups? 
Unlike parish programs that focus on content, the Small Group’s focus on relationship allows for that content to take hold in daily life more effectively.  Smaller gatherings foster intimate community where people can get to know others and be known.  Small Groups are the process that makes disciples.
