Adult Faith Development
-
-
The power of prayer is never felt more strongly than “when two or more gather in His name." We should not stop the learning of our faith in childhood but rather grow and develop our faith as we mature and become stewards of God’s plan. St. Anthony Church offers a variety of group faith-sharing experiences for adults.

JESUS AND THE EUCHARIST SMALL GROUPS
The Catholic Church in the United States is in its second year of a historic and transformative national movement to help the faithful fall in love with Jesus, especially in the Eucharist, and to be inspired and equipped to share that love with others. Established by the Bishops of the United States, this initiative is called the National Eucharistic Revival.
From June 2023 to June 2024, the Year of Parish Revival, every parish in the country is encouraged to present the Jesus and the Eucharist program. Through it, we will have the opportunity to grow in our faith and our love for Jesus, who addresses our natural desire for purpose, connection, and peace.
We will be gathering at tables of 6-8 people to watch a video and be guided by a table facilitator through listening and sharing within each group. It is free, and there is no homework! You just come. Bring a friend or bring your family. This program is suited for anyone age 12 years and up. We would be so excited to set up lots of tables and chairs and share hospitality with you!
The weekly sessions will take place on Wednesdays, beginning September 27. Choose the 3:00 to 5:00 pm or 7:00 to 9:00 pm session. Signups are taken after every Mass.
Come and see! Sign up here.

Small Group
Faith SharingOur small groups meet weekly for six weeks to pray, read scripture, and then share life experiences as they relate to the readings. By participating you will discover a wonderful way to meet other parishioners and share similar experiences in informal discussion and reflection. A suggested act of kindness or giving is always provided at the end of each session as a way of celebrating our faith and stewardship with others in our community. We currently offer two 6-week sessions: one in the fall and one during Lent.
Contact Patti Rottjakob or the PARISH OFFICE.
