Small Groups
Bilingual
Small Groups consist of individuals who regularly come together to share their lives in a communal setting. These gatherings offer the opportunity for joint prayer, in-depth exploration of scriptures and various faith-related subjects, and mutual assistance in nurturing and strengthening their spiritual beliefs.
Our inherent need for connection underscores the value of community. It’s in this communal environment that we truly thrive as a united Christian family. While the shared experience of Mass binds us as a larger congregation, the intimate support and shared journey within a small group propel us towards collective growth in our relationship with God.

Danza Acitlalmichitli
Ages: 18+ (kids are welcome)
Acitlalmichitli, a Nahuatl name that translates to “Star of the Sea”, is the title given in honor of our heavenly mother The Virgin Mary by the Holy Souls in Purgatory (according to the vision St. Faustina Kowalska describes in her diary), and to whom we look towards for guidance and protection through the invocation of Our Lady of Carmel.
The mission of this small group is to offer prayers and dances in honor of Our Lady of Carmel to intercede on behalf of the Holy Souls in purgatory. We worship, praise and offer thanksgiving to God for the blessings we have received through our dances which serve as representations of His creation.
