Holy Trinity's mission statement is Know - Grow - Go: to come to know God personally, to grow in our relationship with Him, and to go forth as His instruments in the world. Grow Group is intended to help us with the second part. More than just adult faith education, Grow Group is a chance to come together with other parishioners, make new friendships, learn about our Catholic faith, pray together, and share faith together.
Hello, all. Unfortunately, I must announce that Grow Group will be on hiatus for the ’22-’23 program year. With the loss of Fr. Tony and the lack of a successor this year, my own workload has increased. I’m having to be much more involved with the sacramental, pastora, liturgical, and supervision side of things, leaving me little time to plan and prepare for our Wednesday sessions. I’m hoping that, with the assignment of a new parochial vicar next Spring, we’ll be able to resume our meetings in ’23-’24.
It may still be possible to do an occasional, ad hoc session in response to something that comes up in the news, a homily series, etc., in which case I’ll be sure to alert you. In the meantime, if you come across articles, books or videos that you think would be fun to discuss, send them along. It’s not too early to start thinking about next year!
I apologize to those of you who were looking forward to resuming our gatherings in a few weeks. I was looking forward to it, too! This is a transition year; I trust that next year will bring a bit more bandwidth to devote to our discussions. I appreciate your understanding.
In the spring of 2020, Deacon Brett and our then-Pastoral Apprentice Ally Z. had invited our then-Parochial Vicar Fr. Hans Mueller to talk about his time in Rome. . . right when COVID-19 struck and forced us to cancel everything here on campus. Thanks to Zoom, they were able to still make his presentation possible!
Due to some technical difficulties, a bit of the beginning portion was not recorded, but what was recorded is about two-thirds of his whole talk. Check it out and enjoy!
