Trinity Faith Sharing Groups

"Besides giving me a strong prayer routine during Lent, this group helped me to feel God's invitation to sensitize myself to all those around me, to the great humanity, love and vulnerability that so often feel so easy to ignore."
- Lent 2025 participant

Holy Trinity's Ignatian Spirituality & Prayer Ministry invites parishioners to participate in a faith sharing group for one or more 6 to 8 week sessions in the Fall and Lenten seasons. Trinity faith sharing groups offer parishioners a chance to meet in a small group to reflect on and discuss the intersection between the Sunday scriptures and God's movement in our daily lives.  These one-hour gatherings are not scripture study, but a chance to share experiences and prayer with fellow parishioners.

When and Where?

We offer online and in-person options for all of our sessions.  Registrants will be asked to select their first and second choices of times offered on the registration form.  We accommodate as  many registrants as we can depending on the availability of leaders. Parishioners are given priority over non-parishioners.

When considering whether to register for a faith sharing group, please assess your availability for all gatherings in the session.  Continuity in the group is important.  We ask that you commit to all gatherings with no more than two planned absences.

Also, please note: The Ignatian Spirituality & Prayer Ministry is offering a number of prayer opportunities this Lent to deepen your relationship with God.  We invite you to prayerfully consider which spiritual practice the Holy Spirit is inviting you to engage in this Lent.  Each requires committed engagement and we recommend focusing on one retreat or prayer opportunity fully.

Lenten Faith Sharing: Week of February 9, 2026 (the week before Ash Wednesday) through the week of March 30, 2026.  The registration deadline is February 1.

What is Faith Sharing?

Faith sharing is an invitation to deepen faith and deepen community. It focuses more on the heart of things, and God's interaction in our daily lives, than on scripture study. Although it won't be the focus, information on the context and meaning of the scriptures will be provided to the groups to support their core emphasis on finding God in all things. Our groups use a set format (provided below) that incorporates Ignatian practices (including sharing spiritual consolations and desolations, and listening to invitations from God) designed to encourage discernment.

"A safe space for sharing, enriching experience to learn from others, to know we, as parents, share many of the same concerns, inspiring to see others share the same feelings about the strength and power of praying together."
- Fall 2023 HTS participant

"I finally feel more quieted, a deeper sense of spiritual hope, and an increased ability to see God in other people." 
- Fall 2024 participant
