Friends, sometimes being at a large parish, like Saint Albert the Great, can be overwhelming and even lonely. It does not have to be that way. Fr. Charlie started the small groups for faith sharing during the pandemic and they have grown since. There are groups for men, women, married couples, etc.
When I started attending Mass at Saint Albert the Great back in 2005 or so, I was blessed to have Theresa with me. Then, through the marriage preparation process, we got to know more people (engaged and married couples) at the parish, as well as through the R.C.I.A. process. After I became a Catholic, I joined the Knights of Columbus and my circle of parishioners/friends grew exponentially over time.
Currently, I am part of a men's small group, called the Weary Travelers, that came out of my time in Exodus90 last Lent. We are doing a book study on Catholic author Jim Sano's novel "Gus Busbi". A few of us in the small group have been meeting for a year now and the friendship and fellowship are wonderful!
Consider joining at small group (or small groups) at the parish. There is also one for married couples that is starting up, called Together in Holiness. Let me know if you have any questions. 🙏❤️🕊

Information re Small Groups
Looking for a new way to get involved in our parish, meet new people and build a faith community?
Small groups may be for you! Small Groups is where our large church gets small. Groups are 6-12 people who meet to discuss faith, go deeper in the weekly message, and support one another in their relationship with Christ.
