Want to grow in your faith and build new relationships with other members of our parish? Well, as part of the Eucharistic Revival we are excited to announce a third and final running of this new small group study, Jesus and the Eucharist. This 7-session study was created specifically for the Year of the Parish Revival. Each group that went through this spoke very highly of it and we believe it will be an excellent opportunity for you to deepen your faith and grow in community with fellow members of the Church. All are welcome to attend. There is no cost and no homework for this course – it just takes you choosing to come and share your time.

To ensure all have a chance to participate, we are offering this series on different days of the week/time of day.  Please sign up for a small group today!

All married couples are invited to a presentation to be given by Kenneth Cramer, Director of Family and Respect Life for the Diocese of Manchester. Kenneth will lead couples to explore the profound connection between God’s image within us and its impact on cultivating a healthy and fulfilling marriage. Please join us! For more information, please contact Claire.
