Mission of Life Groups
By joining or forming a life group, you are helping our parish to bring people to a transformative encounter with Jesus Christ. Life Groups continue to be one of the most effective means to draw individuals, small groups, and our entire parish closer to Christ, the Catholic Church, and a life of prayer and the Sacraments. Join a Life Group and help transform our parish!
What is a Life Group?
- A small group that “does life” together with the common goal of friendship with Christ.
- Life Groups typically meet once a week or once a month on a day and time convenient to members
- Many of our Life Groups meet at the Life Group Spaces here at SJN.
- Life Groups make space to share the authentic joys and challenges of life while striving to live out our Catholic Faith.
Why Join a Life Group?
- You desire to find connection and friendships in our parish.
- You want to study and grow in your faith.
- You want to be part of a community that prays with and for each other.
- You want to be challenged and supported in your relationship with Christ.
Service
Service is one of the four pillars of our Life Groups because a deepening relationship with Christ bears fruit in charity. Life Group members work together to serve our parish family and the wider community.
Making Space for Life Groups
In order to support our Life Groups, our parish has dedicated spaces and rooms for Life Groups to connect, pray, and study.
