For anyone not well familiar with
Faith Alive, the program involves joining a small
group of 5-12 people who typically meet once a month in
each other’s homes or on parish grounds. The meetings
usually run about 90 minutes and involve reflection and
prayer centered on one of the sessions in the book.
Each participant also makes a modest commitment to
service (one to two hours each month) that can be
carried out individually or as a group. This component
reflects the conviction that we are fully disciples of
Jesus only if our spiritual lives blossom in love of
neighbor. Service can take many forms (suggestions are
provided), but it should come from the heart. For those
already devoting considerable time to service, it is
enough to consciously “dedicate” some portion of that
service to the group’s communal effort and spirit.
Since Faith Alive was
launched in Lent of 2007, many groups have been meeting
in parishes throughout the Diocese of La Crosse. If you
are interested in participating, ask your pastor if
there is a group in your parish, or contact the Office
of Ministries and Social Concerns:
