RSVP: Ritual, Scripture, Verse and Prayer  

RSVP is a program that invites us to reflect on the scriptures, share our faith in a comfortable setting, and pray in small groups with fellow parishioners.  We gather in homes, at the parish or by Zoom for six weekly sessions in the Fall and in Lent and many groups meet year-round.  We read and reflect on the scriptures for the upcoming Sunday’s Mass and share our response to the readings and to helpful reflection questions.  We then offer our prayers and petitions as a group.  RSVP is a wonderful way to share our faith and build closer relationships with our fellow parishioners.

          RITUAL:               lighting a candle or other ritual to remind us of Jesus’ presence with us
          SHARING:           faith sharing with reflection questions from the Scriptures
           VERSE:                reading and studying the Sacred Scriptures from the Sunday liturgies
          PRAYER:              praying with each other and special intentions
