at St. Mary’s Parish
More than 70 parishioners have experienced the JustFaith process of personal transformation. Here are highlights of their experience…
“I had the nagging feeling that my charitable giving was not enough, and that I was called by the Gospel to do more. JustFaith helped me to discover what more I can and should do. I found that the prayer and discussion with fellow parishioners helped to support, motivate, and challenge me to continue further on this journey toward compassion.”
-Parishioner Matt Kelsey
JustFaith is for adults of all ages who want to connect their Catholic faith with their life in a complex and troubled world.
“JustFaith allowed me the time to really evaluate how I was living my life in relation to the Gospel call to care for others. The beauty of JustFaith is that I was not alone on my journey. I was with others who were seeking, struggling, and growing right along with me.”
-Parishioner Carol Braham
What Is JustFaith?
prayer ~ reading ~ small group dialogue ~ videos
retreat experiences ~ outreach
JustFaith is a program for adults who meet weekly at St. Mary’s in small groups for prayer and facilitated dialogue on selected readings and videos, as well as retreat and outreach experiences. Participants are involved in a panorama of learning experiences, which form a rich context for personal transformation and fresh commitments to justice and social ministry. Similar to the Renew or Faith Sharing group experience, participants grow in community and knowledge of the root causes of injustice.
JustFaith is offered in Catholic parishes nationwide under the co-sponsorship of Catholic Charities, the Catholic Campaign for Human Development, and Catholic Relief Services.

“JustFaith changed the way I see, hear and live my life. The ideas we explored stretched me. Our weekly prayers and discussions pushed us to ask questions, probe further.”
