CCO Parish
A new offering is being launched called CCO Parish, Catholic Christian Outreach. It is an organization partnering with our diocesan Office of Catechesis and Faith Formation to provide outstanding resources for Christian growth and discipleship.
The group starts with a two six-week study. The first called "Discovery", which explores the basics of our Christian faith to reinforce and strengthen us in our walk with Christ. Next is "Source". Source helps us better understand the Holy Spirit and the impact that the third person of the Trinity can make in the lives of faithful Catholics. A third study, entitled "Commission", is offered for those who would like to continue with the next steps of the study and lead a group, thus multiplying the impact of the CCO Parish at St. Therese. If the group has the desire to go further, there are two additional studies, "Growth" and "Trust".
