Saint ANNE CONTINUING small groups for adultS THIS FALL!
We have had overwhelming support for Small Groups at Saint Anne! Our faith is not meant to be limited to Sunday – it’s a way of life! Our adult small groups are all about bringing your faith into your daily life, while growing with others!Based on the feedback we have received, most parishioners would like a structured approach to the next phase of Small Groups. So, we will be holding table discussion meetings for Small Groups this on Wednesdays, from October 8 – November 25, 2025 at 6:30pm. Each session will be between 60 and 90 minutes long and will follow generally the format of the Arise – Together in Christ process from Renew International. We will meet in the Saint Anne Hospitality Room (lower level of church building).

History of Small Groups in the Catholic Church
To understand more about the Small Group process, we encourage you to read a brief overview HERE. We also suggest that you watch the videos from our five introductory sessions during Lent, featured at the bottom of this Web page.
At the first small group session on March 6, 2025, Fr. John Trout gave a presentation explaining the purpose and history of Small Groups.
Click HERE to see his power point presentation from that session.
We will be adding more resources for Small Groups, so please check back periodically.
