What Is Follow Me?

It is a parish Lenten program that requires just one hour per week for the six weeks of Lent, and is based on the sharing of one’s own spiritual journey with other participants in this small faith community. The Follow Me participant has an opportunity to join one or more of many groups, most of which are based on following each week’s liturgical readings. During the hour together, those in the group are led by a discussion leader or facilitator, who guides the group in breaking open the Word, reflecting on it and sharing its relevance to their own spiritual life and faith journey.
