SMALL
GROUPS

Join or Restart a Small Group this Lent!

As Lent approaches, we invite all our parishioners to be part of a Small Group community. These groups consist of 5-10 people coming together for fellowship, prayer, and enriching discussions.

​

Small Groups thrive when they form naturally - there's something uniquely special about friends and acquaintances growing in faith together. Reach out to those you know and invite them to join your group.

​

What Will We Discuss?

The Archdiocese has curated a wealth of resources at archdpdx.org/small-groups under the Resources tab, including:

· Focus Bible Studies: Featuring a new Lenten video study for 2025.

· Into the Breach: A guide for Catholic men in today's world, by the Knights of Columbus.

· Walking with Purpose: For women who can’t make it to the church for Thursday morning Walking with Purpose sessions you could start your own small group with one of the many WWP studies.

· Endow: Empowering women through faith and friendship with tailored study materials.

​

These are just a taste of what's available, but if you need more ideas, we're here to help!

​

No Experience Needed

You don't need to be a scholar or a seasoned leader to start a Small Group. All it takes is the courage to invite friends or acquaintances to share in this journey.

​

Facilitation Made Easy

Concerned about leading discussions? We can offer simple, effective tips to keep conversations flowing.

 

Choose Your Venue

If hosting at home isn't for you, consider a friend's place, or cozy up in a local coffee shop or brew pub for your gatherings.
