GROWING AS AN ADULT DISCIPLE

What does it mean to follow Jesus today?
At St. Mary’s, discipleship means letting Jesus shape how we think, feel, and live. We explore His way of love, build trust through faith-sharing, awaken our spiritual gifts, and are empowered to bring His message into the world.  To find out more about growing deeper as a disciple in Christ, get in touch with Kate Minczeski in the Parish Office (This email address is being protected from spambots.

The Strategic Discipleship Committee

An offshoot of the parish synod, the purpose of this team is to create a formational pathway that leads to missionary discipleship and addresses the needs of all ages, wherever we are on our discipleship journey.  This committee meets monthly on Monday evenings.
