The Grand Adventure is designed to tap the grandparent resource and provide greater assistance to busy and stressed families. We will explore new ways to enhance the grandparent-grandchild relationship and discuss the many gifts and talents and ways to use them to benefit their grandchildren. Our goal is to give grandparents support and friendship while empowering them in their grandparent vocation. Current sessions have concluded. Watch the bulletin for a new schedule in the coming winter. Contact Jill or Mary Ellen for more information.
 

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.
 

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!

There is no December Women at the Well event. We will see you in January!

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