St. Mary's Young Adult Group (22-40 yrs.): is looking to form 1-2 small faith sharing groups that will meet every other week starting Tuesday, February 16 from 7:30pm-9:00pm at the parish house. We will read the readings from the following Sunday and then use them as a starting point to talk about our faith. We will have a sign up and chance for questions after mass TODAY. 

We will also be hosting 'Soup with Substance' during the Fridays 7:00pm-8:30pm of Lent. Please fast (however you define it) and then break fast with us on Friday evenings at the parish house. Please also bring any money you save from fasting so we can gather it each week and then donate it to Haiti. We are also looking for volunteers to help cook soup on a given Friday. See Matt Davis if you would like to help cook.
