Teachers are not required to have any special religious education background, as the class materials are thorough and easy to follow. The Spiritual Book Club meets one evening per month. Members of the group decide together on a book to read. Individuals read a specified number of chapters before each meeting and then come together for discussion of the reading. Discussion leadership is shared by the group members.
Newcomers are always welcome.
Feminists at St. John of God meet regularly for support, sharing and spiritual growth. The group studies women in church history, discusses current issues related to equality in the Catholic Church and plans a variety of activities, such as seasonal celebrations, educational programs for our community, and participation in various other ministries of the parish. Monthly commitment is approximately 3 hours. Couples under 10 years of marriage will be meeting once a month so as to study how they will be building their families and discussing the difficulties, the challenges and the future of their children. Each volunteer spends approximately 4 hours one day every 3-4 months.
