  • Holy Week with Bishop Haines
    In his message above, Bishop Haines invites you to participate in your parish's Triduum services and gives us these challenges: 
    1.  Invite someone to come with you to celebrate the Triduum at your parish.
    2. Participate in your parish's Triduum and pray for these special intentions:
      1. Holy Thursday: The Heart of Service. During the washing of the feet, pray for those in need of tender care. During the preparation of the gifts, pray for priests, maybe a priest who has had a significant impact on your life or one with declining health.
      2. Good Friday: Those Carrying Crosses. During the Prayers of the Faithful, pray for the 11 universal intentions, and pick one to carry in your heart and continue to pray for through the day. During the veneration of the cross, pray for each person as they come to the cross and for the crosses that they are carrying.
      3. Easter Vigil: Hope & New Beginnings. In the darkness before we light the Easter fire, pray for those who feel like they are in a dark place. Pray for our OCIA candidates as they are welcomed into the Church.

  • “Go Make Disciples” with Fr. John Burns - March 26, 2026
    This week we focus on Go Make Disciples--the Legs of the Anatomy of a Catholic Disciple.  The last instruction Jesus gives to the disciples before he ascents to heaven is to "Go and Make Disciples" (Matthew 28:20). We reflect on how we live this call of the disciple in our everyday life, going out to others.
    Questions for Small Group Discussion:
    • How would you explain the mission of the Church?
    • What has God done in your life through these 90 days of intentionally growing in Discipleship?  Who could you tell about this and invite into deeper discipleship?
    • Prepare to share your story (see your Guidebook p.148-149 English)

  • “Fidelity to the Catholic Church” with Pat Millea - March 19, 2026
    This week we focus on Fidelity to the Church--the skeleton of the Anatomy of a Catholic Disciple. We don't much think about our skeleton unless it's broken, but the skeleton gives important structure to the body that helps us to stand and move freely. Fidelity to the Church is like that: growing in faithfulness to Church teaching helps us to live and move with greater freedom. 
    Questions for Small Group Discussion:
    • Where do you go to find answers to the deepest questions? 
    • What teaching of the Church have you struggled with most, or are you struggling with now? How can you take those questions to God?
    • When the teachings of the Church conflict with the consensus of the world, what do you do? Is there anything you would like to do differently?

    • Mark 9:14-24

  • “Service to the Least” with Tyler Hunt - March 12,2026
    We focus on Service--the arms of the Anatomy of a Catholic Disciple, reaching out to the Least, the Last, the Lost, and the Lonely.
    Questions for Small Group Discussion:
    • Who are “the least” in your life that the Lord brought to mind during tonight’s session who He might be inviting you to serve?
    • What can you do to uphold the dignity of those on the margins?
    • What is one concrete way you will live service to the least this week/month (even if you just start by doing research this week)?
    We apologize that there was a little bit of static in the audio during the recording associated with the speaker shuffling her notes.

  • “Community” with Fr. Christopher Klusman- March 5, 2026
    We continue our exploration of discipleship,  focusing on community, the flesh of the Anatomy of a Catholic Disciple. We take time this week to consider how the skin protects the body, helps us stay warm, and helps us to sense and interact with the world around us? So too, the Christian community protects us, warms our hearts, and helps us to interact with the world in healthy ways.Questions for your Pilgrim Group Discussion:
    • Share a time in your life when you experienced a supportive community. How did this impact your spiritual growth?
    • Give an example of someone in your life who has helped you grow in your faith? (a person on earth or a Saint in heaven)
    • Who might you walk with and support in community?

    • Where in my daily life am I already “full” — leaving little room for God to fill me?
