ARISE Together in Christ is a new approach to spiritual renewal and deepening our faith, developing a closer relationship with Christ, growing in community and reaching out in service to others. In the ARISE program, we explore the intersection of faith and life and engage in real dialogue with other parishioners in small faith-sharing communities of 8 to 10 people. It’s great opportunity to meet your parish peers and connect with others on a spiritual level.
Season 4 of ARISE @ OLQM begins the week of February 11th! The theme for this Lenten season is a “New Heart, New Spirit!” We are signing up new participants after Masses (in the church vestibule) on the weekends of January 27/28 and February 3/4.
