Faith Formation
Here in Our Lady of Good Counsel Parish we recognise the importance of growing in our faith through prayer and study. The 'Monday Group' (as it has come to be known - we are an imaginative crowd!) meet in the Parish Hall at 7.00pm on Monday evenings. We pray Vespers together and explore different aspects of our Faith using books and videos. We have looked at the lives of 20th century saints, watched and discussed Bishop Barron's Catholicism programme and read Scott Hahn's Lord, Have Mercy. In the first sessions of 2023, we will be watching The Chosen. |
