Small groups empower people, invite discussion, and invite you into a deeper relationship with others, yourself, and God. They offer an invitation to be open, and connected, and even give and receive help in practical ways.
Los grupos pequeños potencian a las personas, invitan a la conversación y te invitan a una relación más profunda con los demás, contigo mismo y con Dios. Ofrecen una invitación a estar abiertos y conectados, e incluso a dar y recibir ayuda de forma práctica.
Connect groups are small communities within our parish that gather to support one another.

Do you have a heart for serving others? This group meets to reflect on the meaning of service from the perspective of the Gospel. This group also seeks to bring Christ to those around Salem and beyond through acts of service, both as a group and to support those who are already involved in volunteer work on their own throughout our community.

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!
