GIFT (Gathering in Faith Together)
On the first Sunday of the month GIFT celebrations are held for all parishioners in the parish. The meal, topic and individual breakout sessions are addressed to specific needs. Scripture is incorporated in these topics and there are discussions as well as other opportunities for sharing our faith. Adults of all ages continue to deepen their relationship with Christ and His Church. Children who attend public school and wish to use this process for formation are required to complete take home lessons each month.
Please, see our brochure about GIFT for more information. If you have any questions regarding registration, please contact Brenda Manzo 586-792-0550.
