Join a Small Group this Lent!

Join a Small Group this Lent!

Join a small group at St. Stephen's this Lent!

What Would Jesus Do? Join a Small Group!

“In choosing the Twelve ... we could say that Jesus formed the original Christian small group, and once again set the example by saying, ‘Follow me.’“ - Archbishop Hebda 

Our Lord set the example of sharing and living the faith in a small community. This Lent, see why small groups – in our Lord’s time, and now – are a powerful way to live our Catholic faith in the company of other believers.

Small groups will: foster personal relationships, build community, and provide formation, so we all may grow as joyful missionary disciples of Christ


In-person studies will focus on Bishop Robert Barron’s Untold Blessing: Three Paths to Holiness. In this series, Bishop Barron paints a beautiful and mysterious image of what it takes to be a follower of “the One who is, Jesus Christ.”

The virtual group will work through Restore by Sr. Miriam James Heidland SOLT. “Take a healing journey with Sr. Miriam James Heidland, SOLT, as she helps you turn away from what wounds you and toward God who heals you and makes you whole.” Short videos are played each week through FORMED, with an optional daily journal available for purchase.

We have leaders willing to lead small groups at a variety of times on a variety of days.
