A disciple is someone who has made the decision to give his or her life over to Jesus and seeks to imitate Him by fulfilling the greatest two commandments (to love God totally and one's neighbor as self), taking up one's cross, and making disciples of others by leading them to Jesus.
Adult Discipleship at Holy Family exists to provide lifelong Catholic learning and faith development opportunities to assist everyone to become disciples of Jesus Christ. This task of disciple-making involves creating opportunities for people to encounter Jesus (evangelization), to learn what the Catholic Church teaches (catechesis), to discover how to live the faith in their daily lives (discipleship) and equip all to share the Good News of the Gospel with others (missionary action).
We hope to accomplish our goals through the various ministries and events that we offer as part of our Discipleship programs and opportunities offered at Holy Family. Throughout the year, we will offer several opportunities for adults in our Parish to grow spiritually through our many groups and parish memberships. Please contact Lori Pieri with any of your Discipleship questions, suggestions, or for more information about our ongoing groups!

Scripture Bible Study
Each week we gather to grow in our understanding of the sacred Scriptures in preparation for our Sunday worship. We invite you to allow the Father to guide you, the Son to extend his love to you, and the Holy Spirit to enlighten your heart and mind. Going to Mass on Sunday may never the same again, as you will hear the Sunday readings in a much more personal way. Join us as your schedule allows on Wednesdays 10-11am in St. Mary's Hall. Contact Lori Pieri for more information.
That Man is You
That Man is You honestly addresses the pressures and tempations that men face in our modern culture, especially those relating to their roles as husbands and fathers. The program harmonizes current social and medical science with the teachings of the Church and the wisdom of the saints to develop the vision of man fully alive.
Independant research from a Faith Advisor to the Gallup Poll reveals That Man is You to be one of the most life-transforming programs ever studied. True to its stated goals, this transformation is most profoundly seen in marriage and family life, men's issues including pornography and balancing work demands, and a greater participation in parish life.
Meetings are held Wednesday mornings from 6:15-7:15am in St. Mary's Hall during the months of September-early April. For more information contact Lori Pieri.
