Rediscover the Saints

This year at Christmas, St. Joseph and St. Vincent gave away a book to each parishioner called Rediscover the Saints by Matthew Kelly.  We are going to explore this book and its themes as a parish (both SJ and SV), with the goal of each parishioner focusing on one chapter each week.

Here are some ways we will do that:

  1. Each week you will see in the bulletin a column highlighting the saint of the week. At the end of each column there will be some reflection questions, which are also in the book.
    .
  2. Our school, REP classes, and youth group will also focus on each week’s saint.
    .
  3. In our adoration chapel, we will have a picture the saint of the week.
    .
  4. Fr. Mike and Dn. Tom’s homilies might include a reference to the saint of the week. The same is true with Elements of Faith.
    .
  5. Small groups will meet (you should sign up!) to discuss the questions.  You don’t want to read this book alone!!!  This takes place naturally in homes. Small groups are beautiful things!  


SMALL GROUP INFO!!!!  

  • What is a small group?  5-10 people who meet together each week to explore a saint’s legacy and how that legacy might enrich our own lives today. Most groups meet in the comfort a member’s home, but some meet at church.
    .
  • What do small groups do?  They provide fellowship, Bible & book study, support & prayer!
    .
  • What are the discussion topics?  Both St. Joe and St. Vincent are exploring one saint each week for the first 25 weeks of 2020, starting the week of January 12! There are discussion questions at the end of each chapter. 
    .
  • How do I join?  Fill out the back of this paper and place into the collection at any SV or SJ Mass. Or go to stjoeshelby.org/small-groups
    .
  • Why are we doing this again?  Because you don’t want to read this awesome book alone!  You’ll want to share and be enriched by others’ ideas!  One of the best ways to grow in our relationship with God is through faith-based small group discussion and study. Talking about our faith brings clarity, while hearing what others have to say brings insight.
