Come and See
Mondays at 6:30 p.m.  |  April 26 - June 14

Beginning April 26th you are invited to participate in a 7-week small faith group experience called "Come and See". We will gather via Zoom for 1 hour and 15 minutes.

"Come and See" is an informal gathering about the Christian faith and its relevance for life today. It gives you space to meet other people, share ideas, explore your beliefs, and think about questions that really matter. Each session involves a short film and plenty of time for discussion.

EVERYONE IS WELCOME. No matter where you are in your faith journey, if you are curious about the Christian faith, already Christian but feeling distant, or want to simply gather with others to explore how faith and life connect today. You are NOT committing to becoming Christian, Catholic, or mentoring another person. This is an invitation to explore and grow in friendship with others.
