Various Scripture and Faith Sharing Groups in our Parish
The Chinese Renew Group has been meeting each Wednesday evening for over 20 years. With 7-8 active members, this faith sharing group uses At Home with the Word. The readings are in English and the discussions are often bi-lingual. What they value most is the support of like-minded Chinese Catholics in our diverse community. Contact Chris Lundin for more information (he’ll reach out).
The Thursday Morning Scripture and Faith Sharing group has been meeting for over 9 years. It is a “drop-in”, friendly, mixed age group. They use the following Sunday’s liturgy readings from the Breaking Bread Missal as a source for study and lively discussions. They also review, very briefly, salient points from the previous Sunday's homilies. Sondra Dingman is the moderator. These seekers meet from 10-11:30 am at St. Albert Hospitality Room and are always looking for new members to join them. Contact Sondra for more information.
The Cantonese Scripture Sharing Group started about 5 years ago. They meet on the second and fourth Saturdays at the Pastoral Center from 11:00 am to 2:00 pm. The group leader is Francis Cheng. They use English in studying the bible and the discussion is bilingual (English and Cantonese). Contact Francis ([email protected]) for more information.
The Wednesday night Bible Study group meets in Kerry’s Korner at Our Lady of the Rosary Church, from 7:00 PM to 8:00 PM; although it sometimes runs to 8:30 PM. The readings and discussion are in English. Moderated by a volunteer, the group focuses on scripture, using various concordances, reflections, and study texts, as guides to understanding. Anyone wishing to listen, learn, and contribute is welcome. Contact Neale Wade ([email protected]) for more information.
