Live Faith Groups offer a meaningful and authentic way to connect with others, share faith, and grow closer to God. At SVdP, we encourage everyone to join or start a group as a simple, welcoming path to community, discipleship and evangelization.
Live Faith Groups are an outpouring of our parish life—small, welcoming communities that extend the heart of a large parish into everyday settings so each person can be known, supported, and accompanied in faith.
These groups meet regularly to talk about faith and deepen their understanding of Scripture and are led by parishioners who open their doors to friends, neighbors, coworkers, and seekers of all backgrounds. As an essential tool for our mission, Live Faith Groups carry the Gospel beyond our parish walls and create natural opportunities to reach people who may not be closely connected to parish life but are open to encountering Christ through genuine relationships.

We encourage parishioners to pray about starting a Live Faith Group with another parishioner and to discern who in their lives they may be called to invite—friends, neighbors, coworkers, or disengaged parishioners they already know. Our parish is here to support all who feel called to gather others, share faith, and grow together in Christ.
