All men are invited to join The King's Men, a Catholic men's formation and accountability group that meets weekly to pray, to do spiritual reading and discussion, and to be held accountable. The King's men are concerned with growing in holiness and virtue in order to become better leaders, protectors and providers. There simply is no substitute along the masculine journey for quality brotherhood and support. Proverbs 27:17 says, "As iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another."  We will meet Thursday evenings from 8:00 - 9:30 p.m. in the St Francis room. For more information about The King's Men, visit www.TheKIngsMen.org.
 

This is a great opportunity for the men of our parish to get together and share opinions and beverages with other family providers, protectors, and parish leaders. There's no need to register. Fr. Dave is the ringleader, so please contact him to get involved. The Men's Group typically meets on the first Tuesday of the month from 7:00-8:00 p.m. in Seton Hall.
 

Among other things, this group serves to bring mothers of young children together for friendship and support, while also growing together in the Catholic faith. On an ongoing basis we engage in a variety of short-term, faith-based book and DVD studies. Some are specific to motherhood while others are more general. We include "& More" in our name because women of all ages and walks of life are also welcome to join our group. Occasional service projects and social outings take place as well. Our group meets most Monday evenings throughout the school year in the St. Boniface and Guardian Angels rooms. For more information, contact Jill in the office, or group member Lisa Piotrowski.
 

The Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults, or RCIA, is a communal process for formal initiation of new members into the Catholic Church. Catechumens are those people who are seeking full initiation into the Catholic Church through all of the Sacraments of Initiation – Baptism, Eucharist and Confirmation. Candidates are people who have been baptized in a Christian tradition but are seeking initiation into the Catholic Church through Eucharist and Confirmation. RCIA is a process of study, exploration, faith-sharing, and faith formation with specific liturgical rites for seekers and inquirers. Contact Mary Ellen Kenney to join this program that meets Tuesday evenings from 6:30-8:30 p.m. in the St. Francis room. The next sessions start May 29. All are welcome! 

See the RCIA schedule here.

Can I volunteer to help with the RCIA program?

We have many volunteer positions in the RCIA! For members of the parish who attend church regularly, who wish to guide others in the Catholic way of life, who exemplify a life of faith, hope, and love - we welcome you as Initiation Sponsors, Hospitality members and Catechists. Time commitments vary depending on the ministry you select. Mary Ellen can answer your questions at 651-437-4254 x227.
 

 Testimony from a current member of the group: 
"I look forward to my weekly Scripture Study group as these congenial and gratifying times have strengthened and enlightened my Catholic faith journey.
Through books and videos by various Scripture scholars we have studied many topics including the Mass, the Eucharist, women of the Bible, many saints, and meditative readings in Advent and Lent. Most of these studies included references to Scripture passages.
I especially enjoy learning of the many events prefigured or foreshadowed in the Old Testament and fulfilled in the New Testament. These have given me a greater insight and appreciation of the Scriptures."

The Scripture Study for Women meets most Thursday mornings throughout the year from 8:30-10:30 a.m. in the St. Boniface Room.

Contact Mary Ellen Kenney to join. Call 651-437-4254 x225 or email mkenney@seasparish.org.


 

Gather with other Catholic women the third Tuesday of every month (September through May; no December meeting) sharing the same mission: to inspire, encourage, inform and uplift one another to stand strong in our Catholic faith. Light refreshments are served at 6:30 p.m. and the speaker begins at 6:45 p.m. There is no cost or need to register, so please join us!
 

Our March and April events have been cancelled.

This is a prayer from February's presentation of Women at the Well; Sharing the Wisdom and Experiences of Sisterhood.

Hail Mary, full of grace
Lift my eyes to see God’s face
Let me seek to love as you
Gentle, faithful, pure and true

As you loved the Holy Child
Wiped His tears and made Him smile
Grant that I may seek to be
Holy handmaid just as thee

As you served him through His days
Knew your Saviour in His gaze
Let me seek to serve Him too
Holy Mother, just as you

Amen

Thank you for supporting Women at the Well. We hope you feel inspired, encouraged, informed and uplifted in your Catholic faith month after month!
