Catechism in a Year(ish)
2025-11-27 09:45 - 10:45 | St. John the Evangelist – Northfield, 193 Vine St, Northfield, 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.

What is the Catholic Worker?
2025-11-25 18:00 - 19:00 | Immaculate Heart of Mary Church – Williston, 7417 Williston Rd, Williston, VT, United States
A Catholic Worker House of Hospitality is an intentional community built upon the principles of Micah 6:8. “You have been told what is good, and what the LORD requires of you: Only to do justice and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God.”
To do Justice. The community is rooted in the radical Christian lifestyle, working to bring the Justice of God’s Kingdom into the world around us.
To love Mercy. The community grounds itself in performing the Works of Mercy; giving food to the hungry and drink to the thirsty; sheltering the homeless; generally looking after the common good in as far as circumstances require and resources allow.
To walk humbly with God. The community sustains itself through an active spiritual life. Communal prayer time and regular Mass attendance are encouraged.
We’re working to bring the Catholic Worker to Vermont. Come join one of our meetings to learn more and see if it’s something you’d want to be involved in! We meet weekly on Tuesday evenings in the parish hall downstairs at Immaculate Heart of Mary Church in Williston.
