Our Parish Family invites you to embark on an adventure called Discovering CHRIST. For some this will be a new adventure and for others it will be a journey rediscovering a familiar path. Discovering CHRIST is designed to deepen our faith, where ever we are on our journey, and help us apply our faith to everyday life. There are 7 weekly sessions and one Saturday Retreat in which we will enjoy a meal, video teaching, and small guided group discussion about the meaning of life with Jesus Christ. Discovering Christ is conducted in a comfortable and welcoming, family-like atmosphere. The sessions will be held on Tuesdays, beginning FALL 2022. Discovering CHRIST is designed to deepen our faith. Join us on this adventure and consider inviting your friends and family who are searching for an encounter with Jesus Christ. For more information or to register call 412-754-0886 or see the website link to register online. Please join us in prayer.
