Thanks to everyone who came out yesterday evening for our Catholic Cafe...I think it was a great start ! For those who missed ...here is the 4.1.1.
Our goal will be to meet following Sunday Night Vespers each month. We will go to Vespers together at 6:00p.m. and then gather for a social right after in the Parish Centre - say around 7:00 p.m. During Vespers some may sing in the choir, other might do a reading and still others just attend.
Our social will be exactly that, but also have a little agenda (something to talk about...it might just be how our week is going or maybe in time a video ..a suggestion was from Father Benedict Groeschel or Father John Corapi).
We have decided that we want to also focus on Service and outreach to the community. Some ideas we are toying with:
Participating as a group in the upcoming parish Service Saturday which is on October 25th. Looking into Amnesty International, Development and Peace and doing some letter writing. Adopting a child thru Christian Child Care International. Take an evening ourselves to help at the Bridges Shelter serving a meal.
Finally, we want to have fun too. So maybe a sports night or theatre trip will be in our future.
So next gathering - its this coming Sunday, October 5th - Vespers at 6pm and then social afterwards ...try and bring a friend. Thanks again to all who came - great start !!!
