A path of discipleship sets out a life-long journey of growth and maturing as a follower of Jesus through a set of practices that draw us more deeply into the heart of God and community and back out into the world. A path of discipleship is both individual and community-oriented and offers practices differentiated along a path of growing faith. Consider joining one of our groups or Bible studies.

St. Joseph of Arimathea was organized in 1993, to assist bereaving families at the time of the funeral.
