First, pick a program that interests you, perhaps one of the Lectio studies (e.g. on prayer, or on Peter, or on the Eucharist), then ask some friends if they’d be interested in a weekly or bi-weekly get together in your home. Summer is a good time to learn the faith at home, and with our parish subscription you can go through a program at your own pace.
