We gather for personal and communal growth and to grow in our relationship with Jesus Christ. We're not here to change other people in the group, but to support one another in living more faithfully according to the teachings of Christ and His Church. We use the Bible, Catechism, offical Magisterial teaching, and solid Catholic resources as our sources of truth.
