Senior Shepherd This ministry provides monthly gatherings for persons aged 55 and over. Programs are spiritual, cultural, social or educational, depending on the choices made by the members. Meetings are either at the church or local sites of interest. The group also takes field trips. Usually the members vote not to meet during the summer. This ministry welcomes both men and women! For information about our group or activities, please contact the church office at 325-7549. Just Faith Just Faith is an extensive, conversion-based process that seeks to provide a context in which participants can grow in their commitment of caring for the vulnerable and to become advocates for justice. The program serves to strengthen the growing commitment of the parish and the church to be tools of social transformation, mercy and compassion. Just Faith, a thirty-week adult formation program, consists of weekly meetings and employs books, videos, lectures, discussion, prayer, retreats and border-crossing experiences. The intent is to provide a tapestry of learning opportunities that emphasize and enliven the remarkable justice tradition of the Church. Participants are not only exposed to a substantive course of study but are also afforded the privilege of becoming community with other participants as well as sharing a journey of faith and compassion that is both life-giving and challenging. Engaging in the Church's social mission is, without argument, one of the most challenging messages of our Gospel tradition. Just Faith is a process that recognizes the difficulty of the call to compassion and provides a wide range of compelling resources to communicate this tradition.
