    DISCIPLESHIP QUADS
  • Is This for You?

    • Are you looking to go deeper with God and in relationship with others? Would you like to make God a priority in your life? Would you like to live more like Jesus every day?

      This isn't a coffee club, or another Bible study. It's a place filled with love and trust, not comparison or judgment. Yes, it is one more thing to do every week, but just imagine how it could change the other hundreds of things you have to do every week.

      Though he had twelve apostles, Jesus chose Peter, James and John to form a closer inner circle, the first-ever quad! Is something calling you to form a quad? Great! Keep reading!

  • Discipling is not a program, but a relationship

    • While there is a place for listening to sermons, sitting in a class, participating in a fellowship group, or attending a study group in the workplace, discipleship occurs through relationships.

      In October of 2021, four parishioners (L to R: Dan Balogh, Pat Madden, Ed Katona, Matt Cooney) embarked on the parish's maiden quad voyage, meeting every week for a year. They ended in October of 2022. It was a transformational experience for them.

      Dan's second quad began meeting on December 9, 2022!




    • Discipleship happens in the context of highly accountable, relationally transparent, truth-centered, discipleship quads of four women or four men.
       
       In January of 2022, four more parishioners (L to R: Barb Katona, Yvonne Orchison-Yip, Kathy Bogwald, Patty Migliore-Torres) began the first women's quad. 
  • How Does it Work?

    • Four men, or four women, commit to take a one-year spiritual journey together, spending 90 minutes a week, in prayer, fellowship and scriptural study, with the ultimate goal of helping each other become better disciples of Jesus. The facilitator role rotates between participants during the year.

      Please note: While the parish facilities may be able to accommodate Quad meetings on occasion, a Quad journey is intended to take place in the participants' homes or other spaces "beyond the walls of our parish." This is part of nurturing the mindset that we are not limited to church space to grow in our journey with the Lord and that our goal is to ultimately "Go out" on our missionary journey.

      We use a curriculum created by Deacon Bob Rice of the Franciscan University of Steubenville. The lessons are wide-ranging, and focus on building in us the seven charactistics of a disciple:
       
      1. Identity
      2. Prayer
      3. Sacraments
      4. Obedience
      5. Community
      6. Service
      7. Sharing

    • Is your interest piqued? Do you want to take your discipleship to the next level? Have questions or need more information? Email Dan Balogh ([email protected]) and one of the original four quad members will be glad to answer your questions and provide more information.
