Small Group Ministry
What is a Small Group?
A small group “fosters personal relationships, builds community, and provides formation to help parishioners grow as joyful missionary disciples of Christ.” – Archbishop Hebda, You Will Be My Witnesses (2022)
- A small group consists of 6-12 people who come together regularly in the name of Jesus for friendship, spiritual growth, and prayer.
- Groups meet in homes, local offsites, or at Guardian Angels.
- Groups commit to sharing their faith together and often lead to further connection outside of group meetings.
Why Join a Small Group?
Jesus began his Church in a small group: the 12 Apostles. We seek to continue that practice.
Guardian Angels is blessed with a vibrant parish, yet it can sometimes feel overwhelming or easy to think, “I’m just another number.”
You’re not just another number. Small groups help you:
- Meet people with similar interests.
- Become aware of God’s presence in your life.
- Build friendships and a supportive community.
- Deepen your relationship with Jesus Christ.
