Fall Faith Enrichment Starts NOW!
September 7, 2025
Now that we have reached Labor Day weekend, spiritual enrichment opportunities will be available every day of the week! How might the Lord be calling you to grow in faith throughout the week? Take a moment to prayerfully consider these opportunities!
SUNDAY
- Children’s Liturgy of the Word & Faith Formation: We partner with parents to help their children better hear and understand the Word of God and grow in knowledge of our Catholic beliefs, liturgy, and moral way of life in an age-appropriate manner.
- Youth Ministry: We partner with parents and local Catholic parishes to help our young people deepen their faith though meaningful interactions with God in prayer, discussion with caring volunteer adults and their peers, and service to the community.
- Catholic Inquiry: This is an opportunity for anyone to get their questions about Catholicism answered so that they can better discern God’s plan for their life.
MONDAY
- Stitch & Prayer: This interdenominational group uses skills of knitting, crocheting, sewing, and quilting to prayerfully serve the sick, needy, and homebound.
- The Chosen: On Monday evenings, Assumption parishioner Donna Semanco will be leading sessions exploring the 5th Season of The Chosen television program. Many have expressed how their understanding of Jesus and his ministry has “come alive” through this program. Also offered on Wednesday afternoons.
TUESDAY
- Morning Meditation: After morning Mass and Rosary, participants are led on a 20-minute guided meditation on CD written by Mother Teresa. Through this graced use of imagination, participants feel Jesus speaking his words of comfort directly to us.
- Millions of Monicas Prayer Group: On Tuesday afternoons, a growing group of women meet to pray for their loved ones’ return to the full practice of their Catholic faith. This is not a sharing or discussion group, but an organized way to support each other in prayer.
WEDNESDAY
- Weekly Evening of Encounter with Christ: We celebrate an evening Mass followed by Eucharistic Exposition/Adoration and the Sacrament of Reconciliation, a perfect “halfway” point to the week! Children’s Faith Formation is also offered at this time, so parents can recharge their spiritual batteries while their children are growing in their understanding of the Catholic faith.
THURSDAY
- Scripture Study & Reflection: After morning Mass and Rosary, participants study and reflect upon the Bible readings of the upcoming weekend liturgy, gaining deeper insight into Bible history, context, and spirituality.
- Music Ministry: On Thursday evenings, our choir and instrumentalists prepare and practice music for the upcoming weekend liturgies and concerts. Participants develop their gifts and grow spiritually through interaction with sacred music and texts. “The one who sings, prays twice!”
FRIDAY
- Morning Mass & Rosary: A wonderful start to your day and weekend: gathering to share in prayer and receive our Lord in Word and Sacrament!
SATURDAY
- Men’s Awakening Faith Group: On 2nd and 4th Saturdays, our Knights of Columbus sponsor a men’s faith enrichment group, offering the opportunity to grow in prayer, share discussion, and build community. This group is not just for Knights but is open to all men.
