The "Little House" Is Meeting Again
The "Little House" has resumed gatherings on the second and fourth Sundays of each month. We've split into two groups now—we've grown too large to meet as one. Each group has two adult leaders, about ten young people, and roughly twenty friends.
Mornings are spent on quiet activities at home while a smaller group prepares lunch. In the afternoon more friends and some parents join us for games, and we end the day with Mass.
One sadness stays with us: we cannot say yes to everyone who wants to come. We lack both adequate space and enough trained people to work with our older members.
Our hope for the new year is to grow spiritually in ever-deeper fellowship through these days of shared life.
Important Dates for Everyone
FEBRUARY 5: (the first Sunday after the 2nd) we will celebrate the Faith and Light Festival in every city. Our thoughts will unite not only us to one another but also with groups from other nations.
