Have you been feeling a nudge to spend more time in prayer lately, but you’re not sure what else there is to say? Or perhaps you feel like your prayer time has recently been getting stale?

June 1, 2, and 3, St John Vianney parish is hosting a series that looks at different ways to pray. Each night, we will begin in the downstairs Church Hall with a potluck at 5:30 PM and then have a brief talk about different spiritual disciplines we can use to get closer to God. Join us for one, two, or all three of the sessions!
On Sunday, June 1, Sr Paul Mary, FSE will present “the Battle of Prayer.”
On Monday, June 2, Fr Tim will present “Praying with the Psalms”
On Tuesday, June 3, Fr. Tim will present “Bible Canticles and the Liturgy of the Hours”

We’d love to see you there. If you’re able to come, please let us know by signing up on our website to bring a dish to the potluck. (If you cannot attend, recordings of the talks will be shared at a later date).

Catechism in a Year(ish)
2025-06-02 18:00 - 19:00 | Our Lady of Angels – Randolph, 43 Hebard Hill Rd, Randolph, VT, United States
Using the podcasts from Fr. Mike Schmitz, we will (slowly) read through the Catechism of the Catholic Church. For those who would prefer to move at a slower pace and discuss the material in a small group, we will review two (or so) episodes together each week.
The Catechism of the Catholic Church details the doctrine, dogma, and the basic tenets of the Church. Using the tradition of explaining what the Church believes, what she celebrates, what she lives and what she prays, the Catechism of the Catholic Church offers challenges for believers and answers for all those interested in learning about the mystery of the Catholic faith.
In reading the Catechism of the Catholic Church we can perceive the wonderful unity of the mystery of God… — Pope St. John Paul I
Beginning the week of September 10th, come to the “Year(ish)” discussion group, where we will listen together to one or two of the Catechism in A Year podcast, and then take time to discuss the material together! Our goal is to understand and love more deeply the Church, and the founder of our Church, Jesus!
Our Lady of the Angels: Mondays 6:00 -7:00 pm
St. John the Evangelist: Thursdays 9:45 – 10:45 am
There is no cost for this discussion group, but it is recommended that you acquire a copy of the Catechism of the Catholic Church for your own use.

Series: What Would Jesus Do?
2025-06-04 18:30 - 20:30 | Our Lady of the Holy Rosary Church – Richmond, 64 W Main St, Richmond, VT, United States
What Would Jesus Do?
Forming the Christian Conscience Through Catholic Social Teaching

“You have been told what is good and what the Lord requires of you: only to do justice and love goodness, and to walk humbly with your God.”
The prophet Micah makes it sound so easy – but the world we live in can be a complicated place. Competing ideals and moral philosophies bombard us from every direction on a daily basis and sometimes make it hard to get a clear sense of what is right, and what is wrong. How do we discern Justice and Goodness in this day and age?
The Social Teachings of the Catholic Church are built upon Holy Scripture and developed through the accumulated wisdom and example of the Saints, teachers, and spiritual leaders of the Church. It lays out some basic themes and principles that help develop our consciences and learn to better live together within society and among our sisters and brothers in Christ.
Join Deacon Josh McDonald in exploring the Seven Themes of Catholic Social Teaching and how they can apply to the issues, challenges, and difficulties of our world today. Wednesday evenings, 6:30pm in the rectory of Our Lady of the Holy Rosary in Richmond.

Theme 1 : Life and the Dignity of the Human Person.
Theme 2 : Call to Family, Community, and Participation.
Theme 3 : Rights and Responsibilities.
Theme 4 : Option for the Poor and Vulnerable.
Theme 5 : Dignity of Work and the Rights of Workers.
Theme 6 : Care for Creation.
Theme 7 : Solidarity.
