St. Peter Young Adult Group
The group meets the first and third Monday of the month from 5:30 to 6:30 pm in St Clare Auditorium (room C).
Believing in God is different than believing God. We are a group of young adults who strive to do both and live our lives as a response to God. Sacred Scripture is a privileged place to discover God speaking to us. The Catholic Church selects particular passages for each season and week of the year for our reflection. The young adults meet on Monday night to reflect together on the Sunday gospel so that we can hear what God is saying to each of us and how we are called to authentically respond to God in our unique life situation. You are always welcome to join us!
For further information, contact Br. Ed Shea at 312.372.5111.

Wednesdays, 12:10 - 12:50 p.m.
February 1, 8, 15, 29, March 7, 14, 21, 28
Fr. Glenn Phillips ofm
Are you looking more closely at our Catholic Faith? Returning to "practice" it? Unfamiliar with it? Stumbling to formulate your questions about Catholic matters? Or matters of God?
May we offer time together and make this life and grace our concern? We Catholics have an organic presentation of the Faith in it's wholeness. We will refer to it regularly - The United States Catholic Catechism for Adults. Along with it's four portions we find also earlier "notes" written by or about our Holy Family members.
Pull up a chair. God has approached us. What is there to hear and see, to profess and live? If you have any questions,
call Carolyn Jarosz, 312-853-2376.
