Curious about the meaning of your life?
Invitation to ChristLife
Dear Friends,
At the heart of our Catholic faith is the person of Jesus Christ. He is our Savior, our friend, and the source of our greatest joy. When we open our hearts to Him, we are filled with hope and a peace the world cannot give.
As Catholics, we are called to be a light in the world. Loving Jesus naturally leads us to want others to know Him, too. Sharing our faith doesn’t have to be complicated—every prayer, kind word, and act of love is a simple way to let others see His presence in our lives.
Be encouraged! Your witness matters. With each small act of faith, you are planting seeds of the Gospel in the hearts of those around you. Trust that God will bless your efforts and use them to bring others closer to Him.
May your life always reflect the joy of knowing Christ.
Fr. Marcin and ChristLife Team
“The ChristLife process invites people to know Jesus, live as Catholic disciples, and share their faith with others.“

Discovering Christ
Discovering Christ begins with the deep question about the meaning of life. This is a seven week series that begins with dinner, a short prayer time, and a teaching. Then we get together in small groups and discuss how you feel about you just heard and how it can apply to your life. Over 600 people from our parish have participated in this series and discovered a faith that affects every day living.
Following Christ
Following Christ is the second part of ChristLife’s series and is for those who have personally encountered Jesus in Discovering Christ. This is an invitation to learn what it takes to be a disciple of Jesus in today’s world.
Sharing Christ
Sharing Christ is the third part of ChristLife’s series. This series is designed to equip Catholics to evangelize both personally and as a parish community. This is a seven week series which will deepen the participants’ personal relationship with Jesus and give them practical tips on how to share Christ with others.
