Small Groups

Following Jesus is best done in community.  Be it with your family or friends, consider doing so by forming a small group!  Small groups are a great way to deepen friendships, reawaken one’s faith, and learn more about our Lord Jesus.

Where to start?

Forming a small group is as simple as grabbing a group of friends, picking a day/time/place, and staying consistent.

What to study?

In terms of curriculum, that’s up to the group.  In addition to many others, some of the popular ones include:

Beginners

• Bishop Dolan’s Christ in the Neighborhood
• Eric Westby’s Weekly Scripture Reflections
• Daily Mass Readings

Intermediate

• Endow Groups for Women
• Bible in a Year Podcast
• Institute of Catholic Theology Courses
• Any book of your choice on Catholic belief and living

Advanced

• Catechism in a Year Podcast
• St. Paul Center Journey Through Scripture
