NETWORK: From Parishioner to Disciple

Thursday March 16, 2023

7 pm – 9 pm Eastern or 7 pm – 9 pm Mountain

Jesus began his mission to the world by first calling ordinary men and women to become disciples.  What began on the shores of Galilee two thousand years ago continues today.  Our Lord is calling each of you to embrace your vocation as a disciple in today’s world.  How do you make the transition from “mere parishioner” to “committed disciple?” 

This will then be followed by a look at small Christian communities.  Jesus reminds us “where two or three are gathered in my name, I am there.”  Small Christian groups have been pivotal in the re-energizing of faith communities around the world.  Fr. Ed will be introducing a resource ideal for small groups of disciples, but also for individuals. The resource focuses on ten key themes for discipleship.
