Spiritual Book Discussion Groups

Each year in during Lent and again in the fall St. Julie’s offers book discussion groups led by trained group facilitators.  Book groups typically meet for a period of five to six weeks depending on the book.  This is a wonderful way to grow spiritually and meet your fellow parishioners while enjoying a good book and good conversation. For those who can’t make it to a book group we have a read at home option as well.  Click on the book for more information on this year’s book selections.

Reconnect with your Catholic Faith

Awakening Faith, Reconnecting with Your Catholic Faith, is a small group process that helps inactive Catholics return to the Church. The group meets once a week for six weeks of conversation and socializing.  Click on the link to the right of this text for more information.

RCIA ~ The Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults

The RCIA process at St. Julie’s parish is a year round process by which adults explore and discern the possibility of full membership in the Catholic Church.  Jesus gently invites each person, saying in a special way to those who are searching, “Come, you will see.”  Is Jesus inviting you or someone you know to become fully initiated in the Catholic faith?  Click on the RCIA logo for more information.

The Sacrament of Confirmation for Adults

Often times for one reason or another a Catholic enters their adult life without receiving the Sacrament of Confirmation.  Perhaps you are one of those adults or you know someone who is.  St. Julie’s adult faith formation is happy to work with adults to provide them with the formation needed to receive the sacrament of Confirmation.  Please click in the image for more information.
