Small Home Study Groups are groups of 6 to 10 people who come together in a private residence or meeting room at the Parish Center to study a particular topic; usually related to personal growth, spiritual development or education.  These groups have been organized by individual families or organizations of the church and meet regularly or occasionally depending on the group’s needs.  They provide a relaxed and comfortable environment for learning, discussions and sharing open and honest conversations about their Catholic faith, interests and beliefs.  The groups may follow a curriculum or study guide or they may focus on a particular book, author or theme.  Home study groups offer an opportunity for individuals to connect with others, build relationships, and deepen their knowledge and understanding of their religion and world around them.
