Do you . . .

Seek energy to embrace life more fully?
Need support from other people on your life journey?
Desire to learn more about how faith and life go hand in hand?

. . . then this is for you!

Bert Pitzel, Diocesan Social Justice Coordinator, will share his experiences in establishing small faith sharing groups in parishes.  Through sharing life stories, reflecting on the Word of God and common prayer, participants in
such groups have found:

• a deeper understanding of the Scriptures and their faith.
• support and friendship of companions on the journey.
• a renewed sense of meaning and purpose in life.
• an experience of God’s love.
