Why join a small group?Archbishop Hebda has a dream: a dream in which all Catholics are in a small group. He dreams such things because being in small groups can help our faith come more fully to life, can help people come to know Jesus better. Small groups helped spread the good news of Jesus in the earliest days of the Church and they can do it again today.Don't journey through life alone- join a small group today!

Create Your Own Small Group (new)August 28, 2025
Nativity of Our Lord would like to expand the number of groups running this Fall and in Lent.
We'd also like to come up with some more "creatively" themed small groups, think of groups based on various things, including:
- neighborhood groups
- groups using a certain spirituality
- areas of scripture study
- additional demographics like "empty-nesters", Scouting families, families with high schoolers, etc.
- groups of families
So, would you be willing to lead a new group?
If so, please reply to [email protected] and [email protected], indicating:
- type or theme of group
- who or sorts of people who would be in your group
- what sort of topic your group would be interested in
- some times you as the leader would be able to meet
- whether you want to fill your own group, allow open enrollment in the parish, or both
Emily and Randall, and others, will be there to support you as you craft and fill your group.
Thank you.
Be creative, and Shine With the Light of Christ! -
