Trinity Faith Sharing Groups

"The richness and different insights of each group member
invites me to see and hear things anew
and helps to deepen my faith and understanding
."
- Lent 2022 participant

Holy Trinity's Ignatian Spirituality & Prayer Ministry invites parishioners to participate in a small faith sharing group for one or more eight-week one-hour sessions this fall. Trinity faith sharing groups offer parishioners a chance to meet in a small group to discuss the Sunday scriptures and the ways they intersect with our lives.

Please note: The Ignatian Spirituality & Prayer Ministry is offering a number of opportunities this Lent to deepen your relationship with God (including retreats and faith sharing). We invite you to prayerfully consider which spiritual practice the Holy Spirit is inviting you to engage in for Lent 2023 and to register for one of them.

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.

"Being a part of this group has helped to tether me to community and God,
and helped to broaden my perspective

"I feel more connected to the Sunday readings. I have grown in my own faith. I have been blessed so deeply by the other participants in their willingness to share with me both their struggles and their joy. I feel a strong desire to continue to engage regularly in faith sharing with others.
It was very life giving to participate
