Adult Faith-Sharing and Service Organizations

Next Chapter is a faith sharing\social group for adult men and women. For many of us it feels that our lives consist of ending one chapter and beginning another. This is part of the pilgrimage we are on toward God. We meet on the first Wednesday of every month in Caffe Lepanto at 7pm. (Please enter by the Roslyn Street ramp.) Come if you are interested in having fun, in developing friendships, in deepening your faith. Singles and Marrieds welcome. Come alone or with a friend or spouse! Come every time, or when it fits in with your busy schedules. Our patron saint is St. John the Apostle, who is the patron saint of friendship!

The Prayer Intentions Ministry consists of prayer warriors who agree to include the parish's intentions in their daily rosary. If a prayer warrior is not yet in the habit of saying a daily rosary, the Divine Mercy Chaplet or other prayer would be appreciated.  Directions on how to say a rosary can be provided. The Prayer Intentions Ministry leader received intentions through the website, and each prayer warrior receives a weekly email with the intentions. The ministry also receive intentions through the blue binder near the statue of Our Lady of Guadalupe in the back of the church.  

The Prayer Intentions Ministry does not meet regularly, so if you have difficulty getting out to come to church, this might be a good ministry for you! New members are always welcome! Please sign up at the Intentions Page of the website. Where it says to put your intention, please put your name and email and note that you would like to join this ministry. Someone will contact you with details. 

St. Pius V Bible Study offers an opportunity to enter more deeply into an understanding of God’s Word through prayer, study, and reflection upon select books and themes of the Bible. Participants typically meet every other week in parishioners’ homes for about 90 minutes. In the past, various groups have met in the evenings or mornings during the week.

If you are interested in joining or forming a group, please contact the Church Office.

Members of the Fraternities of St. Dominic are lay men and women who live out their Dominican vocation in the world. Lay Dominicans, who in the past have been called Third Order or Dominican Tertiaries, have existed almost as long as the Dominican Order itself. The Lay Fraternities of St. Dominic was founded with their own rule in 1285 and was officially recognized by the Church on the feast of St. Thomas Aquinas in 1286.

Lay Dominicans “are accordingly distinguished both by their own spirituality and by their service to God and neighbor in the Church. As members of the Order, they participate in its apostolic mission through prayer, study and preaching according to the state proper to the laity.” (The Rule of the Lay Fraternity #4).

Lay Dominicans come from every background, joining the Dominican charism to their state of life. In this unique Dominican way, they live out their special vocation “to seek the kingdom of God by engaging in temporal affairs and directing them according to God’s will.” (Lumen Gentium 31)
