We need group leaders! We will be happy to help you take that next step in understanding our faith in a life of discipleship.
Small Faith Sharing Groups
OBJECTIVE 2.5 Follow up on families who have recently received the Sacraments: Baptism, Holy Communion, Confirmation and Marriage. Growing in faith and walking with Christ together within a small faith sharing group at St. Columbkille creates a special communal bond among members that touches all within our parish community.
