Mental Health
Many people let guilt, anger, or self-criticism dominate their lives and negatively affect their relationships. This small group invites participants to healing from a Christian therapy perspective with Dr. Allison Cook’s book Boundaries for the Soul. It includes how to know what to do when you’re feeling overwhelmed, how to welcome God into the troubling parts of your soul, and how to move from doubt and conflict into confidence and peace.
This small group will meet every other week for 8 session starting the evening of Monday, January 16th. Click on the form below to sign up and get more information from the host, Christine Williams.

Healing & Deliverance
Everyone who is baptized receives a new identity as a child of God who is beloved. However, people, circumstances, and sin in our lives can slowly strip us of our sense of self and replace this truth with lies about who we are and how much our lives mean to God. This small group, based on Neal Lozano’s book Unbound: Freedom in Christ, walks participants on a path of deliverance into spiritual wellness.
This group is currently full, but another group will be forming in the spring. Click below to email the host, Christine Williams, for more information and to be added to this list.

Social Justice
Explore the history and theology of the Church in the Americas from the lens of Latina/o scholars and activists. Discuss how members of the faithful have fought injustices by appealing to the belief that God’s vision for redemption includes the transformation of every aspect of our lives and the world. The 9 part series is based upon Robert Chad Romero’s Brown Church: Five Centuries of Latina/o Social Justice, Theology, and Identity, and guides participants on a path to more fully understanding theology in action.
Dates and times to be chosen shortly. Email the host, Charlie Joyce, by clicking the box below for more information.

Encounters with god
Those involved in caring for others - at work, in their families, in volunteering - meet Christ in every act of service. Gather in fellowship with others to learn more about the spirituality of the works of mercy and how our everyday acts of service can be powerful moments of evangelization and prayer.
Times and dates are to be determined. Email the host, Peter Gordon, for more information at pgordon@mqoa.org.

Marian Devotion
The Church has a long tradition of consecrating people and places to the service of God. One of the most beautiful is dedicating oneself to Jesus through the Blessed Mother, referred to as Marian Consecration. This 33 day prayer course leads you through the lives of four saints and their examples of devotion to Mary, Jesus, and the Church: St. Louis de Montfort, St. Maximilian Kolbe, St. Teresa of Calcutta, and St. John Paul the Great. The course follows lectures and the book by Fr. Michael Gaitley, 33 Days to Morning Glory.
This group will meet for 6 weeks starting Sunday, February 19th, 2023. The group will meet a private home following the 8:30am Mass. For more information, click below to contact the host, Kathleen.

Beta
BETA are small groups where everyone is invited to hear, think about, and talk about the Sunday Gospels.
They always start with food, end with prayer, and in between those two, Beta group members learn, listen, share, think, and grow, guided through the upcoming Sunday's Gospel reading.
Beta lesson plans are published weekly, and YOU are invited to check them out and use them for your own growth in knowledge and faith.
If you would like to join an English language Beta group, information about group meeting days and times are available by contacting Christine Williams at cwilliams@mqoa.org. -
BETA se trata de grupos pequeños donde todos están invitados a escuchar, pensar sobre, y conversar sobre los Evangelios del Domingo.
Siempre empiezan con comida, terminan con oración, y mientras tanto, miembros de BETA aprenden, escuchan, comparten, piesan, y crecen, guiados por el Evangelio Dominical de la semana que viene.
Si te interesa formar parte de un grupo de BETA en español, por favor de ponerte en contacto con nuestra coordinadora, Mari Alix, al 508-317-0820 o por correo electónico al malix@mqoa.org. ¡Gracias! -
