GROUPS

GROW AND CONNECT: YOUR ST. MARY'S GROUPS

Whether you live in Summit county, Wasatch county, or beyond. . .

Whether you're interested in intellectual and spiritual growth, service to others, fellowship or recreation, forming community where you live, or more. . .

Whether you want to meet at the church, your home, or somewhere else. . . St. Mary's wants to help you grow and connect!

At the center of our Christian Life is the Mass, and at the end of Mass, we are called to Go Forth. Your St. Mary's Groups allow you to go forth and continue living our Catholic Faith outside of the church.

If you see a need in the parish, start your own group! If you know what kind of group you want to start, where you want to meet, and who you want to invite, please fill out this application form below.

"Eucharist" Word on Fire Class
Chuck Richter - clrpathfinder@gmail.com

Bishop Barron offers inspiring insights into the mystery of Christ’s presence in our lives and the centrality of the Eucharist. Too many believers do not understand the mystery of the Eucharist, which Vatican II said is the “source and summit of the Christian life.” This fresh look at the Eucharist brings to light its reality as sacred meal, the sacrifice necessary for communion with God, and the real presence of Christ. Join fellow parishioners in taking this program from Word On Fire to gain valuable insights on our most precious and holy sacrament. Sessions will meet every Wednesday at 9 AM from October 12 to November 16 in the social hall classrooms. Participants will need to purchase materials from St. Mary’s and the class size is limited to 20 participants so sign up soon!
