An EXCITING OPPORTUNITY for
INDIVIDUAL and PARISH-WIDE
SPIRITUAL GROWTH and RENEWAL

In October 2008, St. Mary's parish launched ARISE Together in Christ, a new program developed by RENEW International in collaboration with our Archdiocese that offers adult parishioners an opportunity to deepen their faith and develop a closer relationship with Christ.

ARISE works on a model of small faith-sharing communities that meet in homes and other locations throughout the parish during the course of the week. ARISE participants read and reflect on scripture and other program materials as well as consider their own life experiences as they seek to grow in their faith and in their relationships with fellow parishioners. Click here for more information about ARISE meetings.

There will be five seasons of ARISE group meetings, each with its own distinctive theme. Click on a season to learn more about the theme and how to get involved. Information about ARISE events will be added as they are scheduled and/or completed. Click here to read reflections by participants in our parish ARISE program.

You can also find more information about ARISE at the Archdiocesan ARISE homepage.
