At St. Pius X, Small Groups are a place to grow as Christ’s disciple:
in relationship with God, in community with those here, and in love with those yet to come.
On Tuesday nights (7:30 - 8:30 pm) starting April 20th, we will be offering a "drop-in" online small group. Register once and we will send you instructions on how to log in to our Zoom meeting. Then come when you can. Each week we'll have a chance to check in, connect with others, and then talk about the Fr. Mike's message at mass.
Register HERE.
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.
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.
Because of the uncertainty of COVID, we have adapted small groups:
1. We talk about the weekly mesage (i.e., homily) so other than attending Mass (or catching up on the website) there is no preparation.
2. We are offering 6-week groups this Lent. We plan to offer new longer term groups after Easter.
3. We meet online.
Will my “old computer” work?
There are a number of ways to make Zoom work, even if you don’t have a great computer, but you WILL need an internet connection. Ideally, it is best if you have a laptop or tablet/cell phone with a camera and microphone. But, if you have an older computer that doesn’t have a camera, you can just sign in with your name. You will see us, but we will just see your name. If your device doesn’t have a microphone, you can call in on a cell or landline phone to participate in the conversation.
Do I have to have my camera on?
Not all the time, but we would like you to unmute yourself so we know you are there to participate.
Do these groups have any video component?
No.
What is a "private" Facebook group?
Only people invited by the moderator will be able to join and see the questions and comments. As a member of the group, these posts will show up in your daily feed, although you may need to go to the group's page at first until Facebook learns that group is important to you.
When do Facebook groups meet?
Like the rest of Facebook, it is not necessary for everyone to be on at the same time. Someone will ask a question, and likely other people will respond within a few hours or a day. So you can access your group at whatever hour of the day or night works best for you.
Do I need an account on Facebook to participate?
Yes. Creating an account on Facebook if you don't have one takes less than a minute.
