As we celebrate Respect Life Month, we will gather in prayerful solidarity for an increased respect for the dignity of human life from conception to natural death.

All are welcome! Join us for Grounded in Hope, based on the book of Hebrews, to encounter Jesus in such a powerful, comforting, and stabilizing way that He can become your lifeline. Questions? Contact Dawn Sullivan [email protected]

Wednesday Afternoon Prayer Group...Please join us this fall as we gather to discuss Barbara Lee’s wonderful book, “God isn’t Finished with Me Yet”.

New Offering! Fall Adult Faith Forum “Into His Likeness”...In the ancient disciple-rabbi relationship, the disciple would follow the rabbi so closely that he would be covered in the dust kicked up from his rabbi’s feet. Thousands of years later, though we walk on roads of pavement and not dust, we are still called to be disciples—to follow our Rabbi, Jesus Christ, so closely that we are covered with His life, changed, and made new. Please join us for afternoons of prayer, learning and discussion. We will gather in St. Patrick Lower Church Hall following the 11 AM Mass on Sundays: October 5, 19, 26 and November 2. Contact Jennifer at [email protected] for more information.

Fall Study of The Navarre Bible / Genesis The opening words of the narrative ("In the beginning God created...") signal the purpose and even the content of the first book of the Bible - namely, to show how God acted in the early days of the world and of peoples and in particular the people of Israel.
