Small Christian Communities

            SCCs are inspired by the Holy Spirit as a way for

            Catholics to gather together in small groups to

                    share and discuss ways  of applying the gospel to

everyday life.

What is a Small Christian Community?

"A Small Christian Community ("SCC")  is a face-to-face gathering of six to twelve people who invest time with one another for the common purpose of applying gospel values to every aspect of their lives."

Something New For Summer

You are invited to attend a Small Christian Community gathering.  There is no obligation to continue but you may find you enjoy it as many of us Have!  Using a booklet to guide the conversation, we talk about how we can apply the coming Sunday's readings to our lives.  It is very informal and friendly!  If interested, contact Sheryl at 602-996-5120 or by email at sherylatstjoes@aol.com.
