Faith-sharing groups engage in prayer, mutual support for one another, continued learning through reflection on Scripture, and outreach to share the mission of Jesus with others. Our parish has a few different groups meeting on different days and times; you may find one that fits your schedule. All groups welcome new members.
Sunday Morning Bible Study @ 10AM (in person)
This group is an extension of the Arise Together in Christ program. If you would like to join them on Sunday mornings, they meet in person in the rectory basement meeting room (use the glass door behind the Mary statue). Contact Noila Johnson: noilas@hotmail.com.
Monday Evening Bible Study @ 7PM (on Zoom)
Through the Word bible study on Monday evenings draws from the 73 books of the canon of Scripture, sacred tradition, and the teachings of the Fathers and Doctors of the Church, to bring Christ in the Word to you. The Zoom recording is emailed to participants on Tuesday mornings following the study, and a brief midweek reflection is emailed on Wednesdays. The current study topic beginning May 2024 is a journey through the Acts of the Apostles. All are welcome! Please feel free to invite others to the study. To join the Monday evening study on Zoom, email Dr. Joseph Terry: josephterry@gmail.com.
ON DEMAND OPTION: Recordings of Through the Word bible studies can be viewed on YouTube on the Brooklyn Theologian channel (@bktheologian) for those unable to attend the Monday evening Zoom meetings. You can also bookmark this page and return weekly to watch in the window below.

Additional Prayerful Encounters
- Exposition and Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament is an opportunity to silently adore Jesus Christ present in the Holy Eucharist. Exposition is held every Thursday, immediately following the 12:05PM Mass. From the Thursday after Ash Wednesday until the week before Thanksgiving, devotional hours extend into the evening, concluding at 7:30PM with Benediction. During the winter months (Thanksgiving to the start of Lent), we observe a brief period of Adoration after 12:05PM Mass.
- The Rosary is one of the most beautiful prayers we have. It is recited daily, Monday through Friday, after 12:05PM Mass. A Living Rosary is prayed twice a year (May and October) in the church plaza. Watch our News & Events page for announcements and dates.
- Intercessory Prayer is part of the Pastoral Care ministry. Pastoral Care members pray with love and compassion for the requests they receive and will, if requested, visit with your loved ones and distribute Holy Communion.
