ChristLife Sessions to Begin
What is ChristLife? ChristLife is a program dealing with the fundamentals of our faith. Through challenging videos and lively group discussion, you delve deeper into the core of your faith and learn how it applies to your daily life. In addition, you will broaden your social contacts resulting in a feeling of inclusivity and belonging within your larger church community.
Who can attend? Anyone, age 18 and older, can attend, whether you go to Mass weekly, have fallen away, or have never attended.
What can I expect? Each session starts with a free dinner followed by a worship song. We will then watch a video. Next, probing questions are asked by your table facilitator as we share our opinions about what we saw. Basically, we learn from one another and enjoy the camaraderie of those at our table.
Where, when and other details? The program is presented in three distinct segments that are each seven-weeks in duration. They include, Discovering Christ, Following Christ and Sharing Christ. The sessions will be held on Thursdays at St. Alphonsus Hall in McDonald and begin on September 21, 2023 at 6:30 pm. To register, call the parish office at
724-695-7325.
Flyers and posters are in the vestibules of each of the churches with more information.

NEXT GENERATION PARISH
St. Isidore t
he Farmer Parish is on a journey to become a Next Generation Parish!
Together we will come together in faith to forge a renewed path that brings hope and Christ's love into our community. Over the next four years (2023-2027), we will increasingly seek to become a parish that fosters spiritual maturity, shares leadership, offers a vibrant Sunday experience, and embraces a missionary impulse.
The members of the parish Envisioning Team will be responsible for developing a plan to help St. Isidore the Farmer Parish meet these objectives. Building upon the strengths and opportunities we learned from the results of the DMI survey that parishioners took during Lent, the group will utilize this data to leverage the best of what we have to offer while setting a plan that will transform our future.
Together we must embrace Christ's vision for missionary discipleship so our parish can thrive and be a place for not only us, but also others to grow together in faith.
