We are all called to evangelize, and thanks to the gift of the Holy Spirit, we are well-equipped for this mission. It may not mean spreading the Gospel in a foreign land or going door-to-door with the Good News—and it may require overcoming some fears—but the Lord is asking each of us to step out of our comfort zone and evangelize one-on-one.
 
 There is someone in your life right now whom Jesus longs to call to himself. He wants to spark a relationship with them and bless them with his sacraments. In this Year of Mission, Catholics across the U.S. are saying “yes” to a special form of heart-to-heart accompaniment called the Walk with One initiative. This is your opportunity to be God’s instrument in the life of another person. Imagine how our families, neighborhoods, and country will be transformed if every active Catholic answers this call!

To help with the Walk with One movement. We would like to set up Small Group Bible Studies based in parishioners’ homes. The first step is to find 8-10 volunteers to host 5-8 people in your home on a weekly or monthly basis.  Many of you may remember our Arise groups. This will be very similar.

If you feel called to be a host for the Fatima Bible Home Studies, please let Father Amal or Amy Parrish know. (You can also call the office.)  We are hoping to collect names the first few weeks in September (by September 15^th) and then have a Host Meeting and then ask parishioners to sign up for the Home Studies. Of course, hosts will be encouraged to ask people to sign up for their group. 

We hope to start the Bible Studies in October 2025.
