weekdays
Pilgrims in Christ: Tuesdays, 7 to 8:30 p.m. (September through May), Parish House
Pilgrims in Christ is a process of robust spiritual formation that is based on the ancient catechumenate, which prepared candidates for baptism. At Good Shepherd, Pilgrims is more broadly conceived and is intended for those seeking baptism, confirmation, reception into the Episcopal Church, renewal of baptismal vows, or simply a deepening of one’s own relationship with Christ. Pilgrims is both an introduction to the Christian faith and a journey of discipleship in community. Even if you’re not sure that you can commit to the entire nine months, come anyway. Participants will have the opportunity to renew their commitment in stages, no judgment attached. For more information, please contact Father Kyle.
