Invitations to Pray and Build Community
Trinity Faith Sharing Groups: These small faith sharing groups, which meet for eight weeks, allow parishioners a chance to meet in a small group to discuss the Sunday scriptures and the way they intersect with our lives. Please visit the Trinity Faith Sharing webpage for more information.
Praying in Sacred Space: Lenten and Advent Saturdays, 4-5pm. During this hour of guided prayer and faith sharing, you are invited to savor the contemplative silence and encounter the scriptures of the season in the way St. Ignatius gave us in the Spiritual Exercises.
