What on Earth am I here for?
Purpose
The Purpose of SPIRITuality ALIVE is to offer an opportunity to everyone
in the parish as well as their friends and neighbors to take part in a spiritual
growth and evangelization program.
Goal
The Goal is to eventually connect every person in the St. Columbkille Parish
Community to a SPIRIT-filled faith sharing group.
Principles
The Five Principles which form the structure of a faith sharing group are:
- Worship - We were created to give pleasure to God.
- Community - We are part of the family of God.
- Discipleship - We are called to be like Jesus.
- Ministry - We are called to serve the parish community.
- Mission - We are called to reach beyond the parish community and
serve others.
History
SPIRITuality ALIVE was launched Pentecost Sunday, May 27, 2007. We began
by recruiting Prayer Walkers and Drivers. More than 100 parishioners and friends
committed to praying that the Holy Spirit would truly speak to folks, in a specific
area of town, encouraging them to become involved in a spirituality program.
We prayed during June and July.
In August 2007, we began to recruit hosts for the faith
sharing groups and then recruited participants for the groups. Around 300
people participated in the first six-week session which began in September
2007.
