Bible Studies
We have recently completed virtual studies on the Early Church Fathers and the Creeds. Resources from those studies are available at the links provided below.
Parish Mission
Each year, Father Chumo organizes a Parish Mission and invites speakers to help us on our faith journey. Please note: due to COVID, we will not be inviting outside speakers for a Parish Mission. Consider instead, the other opportunities available including the Bible Study on Mark.
Retreats
We attend retreats offered in the Diocese of Rochester and many families attend our Parish Lenten Family Retreat at Camp Casowasco. Please note: due to COVID restrictions, the Lenten Retreat will not be offered this year. As other retreat opportunities arise, they will be listed here.
