Members of our ministries conduct a number of programs that serve the spiritual needs of people at various stages in their lives. Our prayer and activity groups meet to share the faith and to nurture others to experience the fullness of God’s love. Our parish offers the sacraments in Spanish, and Sunday Mass in Spanish (11:00am).
• Our young Adult Catechist program for youth ages 16-20 meets from August to April. The goal is to prepare young adults to receive the sacraments of Baptism, Communion, and Confirmation. Meetings are held on Thursdays, at 8:30pm.
• The Cursillo is a 60-year old movement begun in Spain with the goal to develop Christian communities. Minister formation classes are held at the center of Evangelization St. Vincent de Paul. This “short course” in Christianity is conducted by clergy and peer monitors in a series of lectures, discussions, and opportunities to share.
The Cursillo itself is a 4-day retreat where one gains a closer understanding of our Christian values. Evangelization and testimonials are key elements.
The Cursillistas meet on Fridays at 8pm in the Baptistry. Our Activities include Bible Study, visits to the sick, and bereavement. We hope to increase parishioner interest and membership.
We currently need a leader to organize the activities of the feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe.
• Jornadistas are young people who meet together after Mass to enhance their spiritual awareness.
