A cenacle is a discussion group. These cenacles study the diary of St. Faustina Kowalska and associated passages in the Bible and the Catechism. One group meets Thursday mornings from 8:30-10:30 a.m. and the other meets Friday afternoons from 1-3:00 p.m. Participants need St. Faustina's diary as well as a formation manual, both of which can be obtained through the parish office. Interested in joining one of these great groups? Please contact Fr. Matt at mshireman@seasparish.org or Jill Skaife at jskaife@seasparish.org.                                                        Back to top.

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 meet Thursday evenings from 8:00 - 9:30 p.m. in the St Boniface room.

For more information about The King's Men, visit www.TheKingsMen.org.                                       Back to top.

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.

We will resume meetings after COVID-19 restrictions are lifted.

Dedicated to bringing mothers together for friendship and support, while also growing together as women in the beauty of the Catholic faith. We engage in short-term, faith-based book and DVD studies that are pertinent to women, to motherhood, and to our faith. Studies are periodically held Monday evenings in the St. Boniface/Guardian Angels rooms from 7-8:30 p.m.. As sisters to one another in Christ, beloved daughters of God, and mothers-both spiritually and physically, we are moms and so much more! We welcome you to join us!
For more information, contact Jill in the parish office.

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 August 18, 2020, but you can begin at any time in the process. All are welcome! 

In the interest in limiting non-essential interaction, RCIA is currently on hold.

 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."

In the interest in limiting non-essential interaction, the Scripture Study for Women is currently on hold.
