JOIN A SMALL GROUP

Each small group will gather 6-12 people in Jesus' name for friendship, spiritual growth, and prayer. Group time will include moments of relational connection, spiritual growth through teaching and discussion, and prayer with and for one another.

 

This small group year's topic is the Mass, particularly the Eucharist as the source and summit of Christian life. The priority is to enrich our understanding and lived experience of what is really going on at Mass.

 

Small Group Goals

  1. Create or grow a ministry that fosters personal relationships, builds community, and provides formation to help parishioners grow as joyful missionary disciples of Christ.

  2. Educate God’s people on the beauty, form, and meaning of the Mass with particular emphasis on the Real Presence of Christ in the Eucharist.

  3. Celebrate prayerful liturgies that inspire the faithful to offer their very selves in the Eucharistic sacrifice of the Mass.

The focus of this year's Synod Implementation is the Mass and the Eucharist.  We will add ongoing content to the bulletins and Flocknote newsletters on this topic. Tap the image to watch the first video of a series from Relevant Radio on "Eucharistic Encounters."

    August 21st, 2022 Update Why do we need to build a new church? Hebrews 3:4 - "For every house is built by someone, but the builder of all things is God." There are two primary issues creating an urgency to build a new facility. The first issue is a growing Corcoran community. By 2040, there will be an estimated 2,000 new housing units in Corcoran and the population is estimated to grow 103.6% from 5,600 to 11,400. We want to be ready to welcome these families as they choose a church home. Second, the current church is too small and often experiences overcrowding. For example, past attendance has been 300, in a 160-person capacity church, on Ash Wednesday, Easter and Christmas Masses. People entered and left due to overcrowding. Other reasons include ADA and accessibility issues, as well as safety concerns with crossing County Road 10. To learn more, please plan on attending the campaign kick-off event in the Parish Hall on Sunday, September 25 after 10:30 a.m. Mass. There will be a presentation followed by lunch, door prizes and socializing with other parishioners!
