ChristLife
Discover the meaning of your life and how Jesus wants to be an integral part of it. Through the ChristLife journey, doors will open to the beautiful and joyful life of being a Christian disciple. In Discovering Christ, encounter the love of God the Father, enter into or renew a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, and be empowered by the Holy Spirit to live as God’s children.
Once you have encountered this personal love of Jesus, you will hunger to dive deeper into this new relationship. Following Christ will provide the tools to help live this new abundant life of discipleship and grow in your knowledge of Christ and his love for you.
Having experienced such Good News, it is hard to contain the joy that it brings. Sharing Christ will equip you to spread this Good News to others and truly live out Christ’s call to be missionary disciples.
Discovering Christ for parents of school-aged children begins September 2024. Parish-wide sessions begin January 2025. For more information, please contact Debbie Rickert at drickert@stjohnsp.org.

Reach More
Through 12-week training sessions, the overarching goal of Reach More by Evangelical Catholic is to drive a movement of evangelization by developing a growing community of lay missionary disciples committed to:
1. PRAYER: Deep, frequent, and vulnerable prayer—both individually and communally—that fosters intimacy with God and reliance upon him in all things
2. DISCIPLESHIP: A lifetime pursuit of Jesus, growing in habits and attitudes that foster holiness
3. COMMUNITY: Mutual sharing of life, faith, and encouragement with other believers
4. EVANGELIZATION: Sharing the good news of God’s love with others, in both word and action
When a community of disciples, centered on Jesus, dives deeply into prayer, discipleship, community, and evangelization together, the Holy Spirit moves more freely, and lives are changed for the greater glory of God!
