RENEW

The essential part of this renewal of parish life is the faith sharing groups that take place twice a year for six weeks (once a week). The sessions will be held in October and during Lent. The themes of these groups will come from the Catechism.

The sharing of one’s faith can help people learn from each other. Each person has a rich experience of the faith that is not found in books.

The sharing sessions will be scheduled according to people’s convenience.
