Liturgical | SMOT

Adult Faith Formation programs are scheduled throughout the year. They consist of speaker nights, book groups, retreats or various other activities that offer parishioners an opportunity to grow in their relationship with the Lord Jesus and with each other.

Christ Renews His Parish (CHRP) is a spiritual renewal process designed to bring members of our parish together in Christ. The CHRP process begins with a renewal weekend at the Parish (one weekend for men, one weekend for women) which runs from Saturday morning through Sunday afternoon.

Children's Liturgy of the Word (CLOW) program is held during the Saturday evening 5:30PM Mass and during the Sunday morning Masses at 8:30AM and 11:00AM from September to May. The children leave Mass to hear their own Liturgy of the Word in the Gathering Area with an adult catechist and return to their families at the Offertory of the Mass. This program is for children 4 to 8.
