Life Groups
-
"Life Groups," also referred to as "Small Groups," provide a space for authentic encounter with others.
​
While big events and social functions can be fun, we all need a chance to be seen, loved, and truly known by others.
​
"Life Groups" can be themed or can simply be regular times to meet and catch up as a group.
"Little by Little" (Women)
"Little by Little" is Converge's Small Group for Young Adult Women!
Founded in the Summer of 2024, "Little by Little" offers events monthly and seasonally to bring women together as they seek to grow closer to Christ "little by little".
When: Monthly & Seasonally // Times Vary by Event
Where: Location Varies by Event
Scripture Groups
-
Understanding Sacred Scripture can be hard! But you don't have to learn on your own!
​
"Scripture Groups" provide a space for you to ask meaningful questions and learn about the history and literary techniques that make it up.
​
Plus, you might make some new friends along the way!
St. Irenaeus Bible Studies
Since its inception in 1993, the St. Irenaeus ministry has tried to follow the example of their namesake in evangelizing and teaching, equipping and encouraging the faithful, so that today’s men and women can better explore the fullness of the Catholic faith and come to know more profoundly the love and life of God in Jesus Christ. Their Bible Studies are profoundly enriching.
Level: Intermediate/Advanced
When: Seasonal (Check website for latest offerings)
Where: St. Irenaeus Center
542 Blossom Road, Rochester, NY 14610
St. Stan's - Adult Bible Study

When: Monday Nights // 6:15-7:30 pm
Where: St. Stanislaus Church (Religious Education Center)

SERCC - "Scripture Share"
Scripture Share is a lighter look than a rigorous Bible study. We are a diverse group of adults from many parishes who read the weekly readings from LTP's workbook "At Home with the Word" and then discuss the readings and various writings presented in the book. We look a lot like a Christian "Small Group" in that we support each other in prayer and those who join our zoom screens immediately become good friends.
Level: Beginning Friendly
When: Wednesday Mornings // 10:00am
Where: Zoom (Online)
