Faith & Fellowship Group

WHEN:  Beginning October 2, 2025 - Every Thursday Evening  //  7:00 - 9:00 pm
WHERE:  St. Edith's A/V Room
CONTACT:  Judy Wyzlic -- 734-620-2065 or Jim Wyzlic -- 734-245-3993

If you desire to learn more about your Faith and gain relationships with other Catholics, this may be the group for you. We are a small group of men and women who meet on Thursday evenings during the school year to study and support each other in our faith journey. We meet on Thursdays at 7:00pm in the AV Room.

Coming this Fall of 2025, we will begin a 7-week study entitled, "When You Pray: Trust, Surrender and the Transformation of Your Soul," by Dr. Edward Sri. Are you a pilgrim or a tourist in your prayer life? A tourist might say prayers, but a pilgrim encounters the Lord in prayer. This study is not about ways to pray, but how to cooperate with God through prayer and allow him to act more fully in our lives.

The study includes a book, workbook, a video (typically 30 minutes) and discussion. You are welcome to participate in the entire program or just attend the video and discussion. The book and workbook can be ordered directly through ascensionpress.com or by contacting our facilitator Mike Willis at 734 502-5602 by September 15, 2025.

We are going back to Walking with Purpose, using a 22-week study called, "Opening Your Heart." We will take a break before Christmas and end the Thursday before Holy week (assuming no snow days). The cost of the book is $47, if you order through us. This will save on the shipping cost. You need to register by August 25 to be included in the group book order.

Opening Your Heart: The Starting Point

This study explores the fundamental questions of our Catholic faith and our relationship with Jesus Christ. Join us as we examine the core questions that we need to wrestle with if we want to experience all that God has for us.

• How do I get my priorities in order?
• I've been going through the motions in my spiritual life - how does it relate to my day-to-day life?
• How do I get to know Christ in a personal way?

Fishers of Men

Join us as we get ready for the weekend through prayer, discussing the mass readings, and fellowship with other Christian brothers.

WHO WE ARE: Catholic and Christian Men gathering weekly to advance spiritually, regardless of where they currently are at in their Faith Journey. Men do not have to belong to St. Edith Parish.

WHAT WE DO: We prepare for the weekend by reviewing the readings for Sunday’s Liturgy, watch educational videos, and pray together. Just show up, nothing to bring. Copies of the Sunday readings are provided.

WHEN WE MEET: Meetings are held from 8:00 - 9:00 AM every Saturday morning, regardless of location.

WHERE WE MEET: On the first Saturday of the month, the meeting is held at the back room of Kerby’s Koney Island Restaurant at Six Mile and Newburgh. From September to May, we meet at the St. Edith Parish Social Hall. Enter through the Christian Service entrance in the back St. Edith parking lot. During June through August, we meet outside at Sumac Pointe Park Pavilion, which is on Hines Drive, just west of Newburgh.

For questions, and to get on the email distribution list, contact Geoff Turbiak at 734-306-6150 or geoffturbiak@gmail.com.

Hope to see you there whenever you can make it!
