Seasons of Faith
​Life can be understood as if traveling on a pilgrimage or the experience of a hiking group. Though people are walking together, they are not all of the same strength, endurance or experience. All of the participants will eventually reach the destination but not necessarily at the same time or together and that needs to be OK. Though a hike or pilgrimage can be a group experience there will always be that solitary-individual component that cannot be compared with any other person.
​
Seasons of Faith encourages faith growth for adults , no matter what season of life they are in.  
This Fall Season
we will explore  the Gospel of Luke
· Who was Luke?
· Who was he writing to?
· How is Luke’s Gospel different from the others?
· What does this 2,000 year old document have to do with my life?
Read the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops Pastoral Letter against racism; Open Wide Our Hearts: The Enduring Call to Love.
For further exploration we recommend:

The USCCB (The US Conference of Catholic Bishops)
The RCDA (The Roman Catholic Diocese of Albany)
The Holy See website
The Evangelist - the official publication of the RCDA

There are also many Catholic Media outlets, podcasts and websites to explore.
Seasons of Faith is Holy Spirit’s Faith Exploration process for lifelong faith growth.  Each season is four months long, with three seasons per year:
Fall
(September-December)
Winter/Spring
(January-April)
Summer
(May-August)
 
Each season offers  many opportunities for   growing personally and  spiritually, along with community gathering,  and living as the body of Christ.
Join us as we explore, grow and live in our faith—together!
We look forward to accompanying you on your faith journey.  Please contact us if you have any questions.
Prayer For Migrants And Refugees

​Lord Jesus, today you call us to welcome the members of God's family who come to our land to escape oppression, poverty, persecution, violence, and war. Like your disciples, we too are filled with fear and doubt and even suspicion. We build barriers in our hearts and in our minds.
Lord Jesus, help us by your grace,
  • To banish fear from our hearts, that we may embrace each of your children as our own brother and sister;
  • To welcome migrants and refugees with joy and generosity, while responding to their many needs;
  • To realize that you call all people to your holy mountain to learn the ways of peace and justice;
  • To share of our abundance as you spread a banquet before us;
  • To give witness to your love for all people, as we celebrate the many gifts they bring.
We praise you and give you thanks for the family you have called together from so many people. We see in this human family a reflection of the divine unity of the one Most Holy Trinity in whom we make our prayer: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.  Amen.
