2009-2010 SEASONS
ARISE offers an opportunity for parishioners to participate in small Christian faith-sharing communities that come together each Season for six weekly sessions to pray, read Scripture, and discuss their faith and the ways God is at work in their lives. Beginning the week of October 4, we have the opportunity to reflect on these basic Gospel themes: ● Season III -- Fall 2009: "In the Footsteps of Christ"; ● Season IV -- Lent 2010: "New Heart, New Spirit"; ● Season V -- Fall 2010: "We are the Good News!"
