Small Christian Communities or SCC’s are small groups of parishioners, usually 8-10 people, who gather together on a regular basis--weekly or twice a month--for approximately 2 hours to:

• Reflect upon and discuss the Sunday Mass Readings
• share their faith and daily lives
• share mission/ministry
• pray
• fellowship

 Father Tobin writes a commentary on the readings, available to all participants which greatly enhances an understanding of scripture. We have ongoing groups and seasonal groups (6 weeks) Fall & Lent.

I am so blessed to be a member of a wonderful Small Christian Community
who are good friends and are always concerned about each other,
helping each other, and praying for each other.
Recently, when I was in the operating room, the last thing I saw
before I was put to sleep was the clock on the wall and it read 7:30 a.m. 
I knew at that moment that everything was going to be okay because
I knew my SCC family was at the 7:30 morning Mass praying for me. 
I couldn’t be more blessed.
