YOU ARE INVITIED TO JOIN A
“JustFAITH”
GROUP COMING TO THE MILTON/QUINCY CATHOLIC COMMUNITY THIS
FALL!
|
What is JustFAITH?
JustFAITH
provides a lively and challenging format to read, view, discuss,
pray, experience and be formed by the tradition of Catholic
social teaching and the Biblical call to create a more just
world.
Participants are also afforded the privilege of becoming community
with other participants and sharing a journey of faith and compassion
that changes lives, inspires faithful witness, and transforms
the world through love and service.
Do participants
need to have previous experience or knowledge of Catholic social
teaching?
No. People benefit from JustFAITH
if they have been involved in social ministry for a long time
or if they are newly interested.
How is the
JustFAITH
program structured?
JustFAITH
involves groups of about 10-15 people, who meet for 30 weekly
sessions, two weekend retreats and four Saturday immersion experiences.
Overall, this adult formation process extends over 8 months
and uses books, videos, guest speakers, discussion, prayer,
retreats, immersion experiences, and community building. Testimonies
of participants around the country attest to the personal transformation
that happens to people who complete the program.
Does
it cost anything to participate in JustFAITH?
The books cost approximately $140/person and are paid in installments;
no one has to pay the full book costs up front.
Who
do I contact for more information?
Mary
Gallagher @ 617-698-2439 or mgallagher@stagathaparish.org

Milton Catholic Collaborative
Working in Faith … Toward a Shared Future
St. Agatha Parish, St. Elizabeth Parish,
St. Mary of the Hills Parish
|
“Logo Contest”
AND THE WINNER IS……. |
Many children
in Grades 1-5 who attend the Milton Catholic parish schools
or Faith Formation classes at St Mary of the Hills, St Agatha
and St Elizabeth churches submitted wonderful drawings for
the Milton Catholic Collaborative “Logo Contest”.
We were amazed at the thoughtful ways children imagined what
represents Catholics in Milton and Quincy working together
for love of God and one another. |
|
|
Fr. Peter Casey offers
congratulations go to Andrew Golden, 10 years old, whose drawing
was chosen by a group of parishioners from St Mary of the
Hills and St Agatha parish. We think you’ll agree that
Andrew understands what Milton churches collaborating is all
about!
