We live such hectic,
busy lives, there is often so little time to notice what is
happening to us. Gathering together regularly with a few fellow
parishioners in a small Christian community (SCC) offers people
a chance to slow down, to be a bit more reflective about life,
to sift and sort the things that count. How might God be acting
in this crazy mixed-up life, even if I don’t pay much attention
to God’s presence on a day to day basis? |
A SCC is a group of 8-12
adults, or families, who come together, usually in each others’
homes, weekly, every other week, or once a month to share
something of their stories with one another and to share God’s
story. In this way people help each other to make connections
between everyday life and faith. Bonds are formed. St. Philip
Neri has 15 active individual groups, meeting every day of the
week except Mon. and Sun.-morning, lunch and evenings. |
