ENGAGE: a faith formation program for adults is offered by the Church in the 21st Century Center (C21) at Boston College. Drawing upon the best resources available in the Boston College community, this initiative provides dynamic programming and strategies to nurture an adult’s faith. We are delighted to be able to offer this wonderful program to our Parish.
Similar to our successful ARISE Program, ENGAGE is designed to build Catholic community by sharing Religious and Spiritual experiences and practices in small groups (6-10 people), in a parishioner’s home or our Parish Center, led by a facilitator, in five sessions, on the themes of: Spirituality Matters, Prayer, Discernment, Hospitality and Family Practices. The resources provided are based on the textbook Catholic Spiritual Practices: A Treasury of Old and New by Colleen Griffith and Thomas Groome from B.C. and include guidelines, videos and reflections.
Groups will begin the week of March 16.
Registration sign-up sheets for participants, hosts, and facilitators available in the Glen Road foyer and on our website. Sessions will be in the evenings (7:30 to 9:00pm) or during the day at a time that a group selects. Please consider hosting or facilitating a group – love to have you!
