What is Discovering Christ?
Have you ever thought about the meaning of life, the purpose of our existence? Or have you ever wondered what the Catholic Christian faith is all about? Maybe asking why Jesus is important for us now and what can possibly point to God's existence?
Discovering Christ provides us with thought provoking responses to these and many more questions, exploring the basics of the Catholic Christian faith. Typically run over seven weeks, each session looks at a different question that people have had about the faith and is designed to promote honest and open conversations about life's biggest questions. If you are searching for answers, this can be the place to start.
MealIf there's something that we share in common, it's our need to eat! Food helps us come together and build relationships. It breaks down barriers between strangers and can be a way to know new people!

 TeachingSometimes in order for us to understand something beyond the surface, we need to hear a talk. Such talks can help guide us to wrap our minds around a subject area that we normally wouldn't hear from a 1-on-1 conversation. They serve to engage us and inspire conversation. They will explore the basics about the Catholic Christian faith.

 DiscussionWith anything we hear, it's good for us to talk about it. It helps us think about our own experience and compare it to what we have heard and seen. There's no pressure to talk though! Only if you want to share. It's a chance to hear from others and have others hear what you have to say in a friendly, honest, and open setting.

What does a typical night look like?
We'll begin each gathering with some food and refreshments. As most of us would have gone through a long day, consider this as a time to relax and enjoy some fellowship and food! The night continues with a presentation, followed by a short break. Small group discussions would then take place about the topic discussed. Participation is optional but worthwhile! The evening concludes after that.
