Small Christian Community

Since the time of Jesus who gathered a small band of twelve, small communities have been an important dimension of church life.  Just as the early church kept the faith alive St. Mary's Small Christian Community (SCC) gathers to pray, share faith, support one another, continue to learn and reach out to other small Christian communities.
 
SCC provides people with a sense of belonging and introduces them to a deeper relationship with Jesus.  SCC is a means of continuing spiritual renewal and evangelization and promotes parish leadership.

Fomat of SCC 
SCC uses the booklet QUEST and follows the format that is suggested in the book.  This format allows the group to deeply share their faith with each other.

• The upcoming Sunday readings are read aloud and a reflection is read in silence. 
• There are questions to help the group focus on the readings and generate discussions.
