ARISE: ARISE is a 6 week program of small faith-sharing

groups. This is a great opportunity to grow in your Catholic faith by meeting for 1 ½ hours with 8-12 other parishioners weekly for 6 weeks. No previous participation is required. In the past we have had groups meet on Tuesday evenings and Thursday mornings. The groups will begin meeting the week of October 12. For more information contact Charles or Alice
