Women’s Book Study
Are you collecting good books on your nightstand that you intend to read but never get to them? Well, here is an opportunity to read a good book with other women. No homework, all the reading and discussion happen during our hour and a half session. Women’s book study is a weekday morning program hosted at the parish. A new book is selected each fall and spring. Typically runs 8-weeks per book. The books can range in topics from spiritual growth to entertaining historical fiction. Suggestions of books are always welcome. For information about upcoming studies, contact Karen at klotspeich@sfcparish.org.
Saturday Morning Men's Group
All men are invited to join the Saturday Morning Men’s Small Community. The first meeting is at 6:45 am in the Community House where we pray the Rosary to St. Joseph and for our families. The Rosary is followed by a faith sharing community meeting at 7:30 am where we form small groups of 6-9 men and read scripture, pray, and support each other’s life journey. For more information please call Mike Hays at 303-904-3111. Please feel free to stop in any Saturday. All men are welcome!
That Man Is You
That Man Is You (TMIY) honestly addresses the pressures and temptations that men face in our modern culture, especially those relating to their roles as husbands and fathers. The program harmonizes current social and medical science with the teachings of the Church and the wisdom of the saints to develop the vision of man fully alive! This men’s ministry gathers bright and early on Saturday mornings to be sure husbands and fathers can be home before their busy family activities begin. To get the schedule or for more information, contact Deacon Chet Ubowski at dcnchet@sfcparish.org.

Small Faith Communities
Small Faith Communities (SFC) are adult discipleship groups. They are intentional small groups that can vary in size and are formed based on neighborhoods, common interests, or position in life. They meet regularly to share their life, pray together, read Scripture, commit time to one another for the sake of building an authentic relationship with each other while growing in faith. They support one another through the ups and downs of everyday life in the pursuit to live a Christ centered life. These groups may meet weekly, bi-monthly or according to some other regular pattern determined by the community.
How does one start a Small Faith Community? Consider inviting friends, your children’s friends’ parents, people you interact with at Church or other events in your life. If you need some encouragement or help in reaching out to these individuals, don’t hesistate to reach out. Typically, groups rotate hosting, leading opening and closing prayer, and leading the discussion. Some include refreshments while other do not.
The Community Life department supports these communities by providing resources: such as books, studies, reflections on weekly Gospel, retreats, social engagements, and outreach opportunities. We also provide support for new group formation and placing new members in existing communities.
For more information or support, please contact Karen Lotspeich at klotspeich@sfcparish.org
