WHY SHOULD YOU JOIN A SMALL GROUP?
We want each and every person at SPX to have a relationship with Jesus and for their lives to be a reflection of that relationship. And while each of our journeys is unique, we have identified 5 practices that can help you to grow as a disciple. One of the most important is to join a small group. Here's why.
Here at SPX, we want you to be more than a number, more than a face in the crowd. We want you to have friends who actually know you and care about what is happening in your life. We also want people to count on you. And we want you to grow spiritually. We think the best way to do all of that is to join a small group.
So that's a weekly gathering of 6-10 people, who meet on-line or in-person to share life together. It's not a bible study, but we will talk about the weekly readings. It's not a support group, where we come to vent, but we will share life's up and downs with each other. It's not a social gathering, but we find many people form new friendships through these groups. And even though the messages you hear each week at Mass are well thought out, relevant, and delivered flawlessly, most of the time, we need to talk about the message with other people to figure out how to actually apply it to our lives.
And if you are hearing this and think "I tried a group once and it wasn't for me", we would encourage you to give groups another try. Sometimes it takes more than one attempt to find a group that you really click with.

what are small groups?
At St. Pius X, Small Groups are a place to grow together as Christ’s disciples with other adults. Small Groups bring 6-10 people together to grow, share life, and pray with and for each other. Life has its ups and downs but being in real relationship with other Christians allows us to face those issues together.
We launch new small groups every Fall and Early Spring. Typically these groups focus on discussing the Message (sermon) we hear at Mass. These groups meet in a variety of ways - some in-person, some entirely online (usually on Zoom) and still others are hybrid - weekly online with in-person socials.
In late Spring and Summer, we offer “interest” groups. These groups bring people together to have fun sharing a common interest, like gardening, hiking, photography, etc.

what will i need to do?
To have the best experience possible we ask you to do 3 things
Show up. Small Groups are all about relationships – and you have to be there to experience it.
Join In. Participate in the conversation. Everyone brings a unique point of view. Your group won’t be complete unless you contribute.
Be Real. Be yourself and allow God to work through the group and you. Being vulnerable is hard, but God honors our trust in Him and others.
