Small Group Studies

Accompanying others as they encounter the living God in Scripture is a great joy! Here are multiple studies to recommend to parishioners curious about Catholicism, preparing for sacraments, and ready to receive God’s great love story.        

 

Small Group Studies Resources 

Use these resources to train leaders on how to create life-giving small groups that foster stimulating conversations, thought provoking questions, and a deeper sense of community at your parish. These tools are also great resources to pass along to parish leaders and volunteers looking for small group training.

Sacramental Preparation Studies  

The Holy Spirit ushers in a new era from Pentecost, in which Christ manifests, makes present, and communicates his work of salvation through the liturgy and the sacraments (CCC 1076). Use these studies to teach parishioners about the beautiful sacraments Jesus has instituted.    

Bible Studies

The Church venerates the Scriptures as she venerates the Lord’s Body (CCC 103). Scripture is the sacred book in which “the Father who is in heaven comes lovingly to meet his children and talks with them." (CCC 104). Browse these Bible studies to recommend to your parish communities.

Formational Studies

The mysteries of Catholicism are boundless! These studies can be used for any small group community or ministry looking for faith-filled formation to explore the depths and beauty of Catholicism.

Parish-wide Studies  

Power comes when a community unites in prayer. The early apostles “devoted themselves to the teaching of the apostles and to the communal life, to the breaking of the bread and to the prayers” (Acts 2:42). These parish-wide studies are particularly well suited to uniting parishioners into a family of faith.
