The Church has been gathering in small Christian communities since the beginning. During these unsettled times of COVID-19, small groups offer us a time-tested model that enables us to still gather in community, grow in friendship, learn about the faith, and pray together.
Along with many parishes throughout the diocese, the Young Adults Ministry at Our Lady of Lourdes invites you to Season One of our new series of conversations! Our goal is to establish a safe, judgement-free space for YOU to explore and deepen your relationship with Jesus Christ. No sacraments or prior knowledge are necessary and if you are a single parent, married, divorced or single, you have a place in our ministry! Everyone between the ages of 18 and 35 is welcome.
We would love for you to consider being a part of our small group, whether or not you have ever been involved with our parish before! Please read the below information and see the small group dates to help with your consideration!
1.) Season Two gathers 7 times. Consistent attendance is very important to fostering positive dynamics within the small groups, so we ask that you look ahead at your calendar and only sign up if you are able to make 5 of the 7 gatherings.
2.) Each small group is lead by a facilitator. Your personal contact information (Name, Email, and Cell) will be shared with your group facilitator and group. Your facilitator will be reaching out to you sometime between October 21st-29th to welcome you and let you know of any important information you need for the group.
3.) The small group content follows the liturgical calendar, are based in the Sunday Gospel Scriptures, and are tailored to various life stages. The first season focuses on the Ordinary Time of the Church and Advent.
4.) Social distancing guidelines will be followed and masks will be required.
5.) Please register by October 21st! If have any questions or comments, please feel free to contact Our Lady of Lourdes Young Adults at
