Young Women's Spiritual Study Group
St. Gerard’s offers a welcoming space for “youngish” women to come together for meaningful spiritual study and fellowship. We gather twice a month for about an hour in a supportive environment where women in similar life stages can connect, grow spiritually, and build lasting friendships. Our current study uses the Endow study guide to explore St. John Paul II’s Letter to Women. We meet on the 1st and 3rd Mondays from 6:00–7:15 pm in the Parish Life Center, 3rd classroom on the right. Note: In July we will meet the 1st and 2nd Mondays (July 7th & 14th) with no meeting on the 3rd Monday (July 21st). If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to Cassie Tahler at [email protected] — we’d love to have you join us! |

Eucharistic Adoration
“Jesus has made Himself the Bread of Life to give us life. Night and day, He is there. If you really want to grow in love, come back to the Eucharist, come back to that Adoration.” – St. Teresa of Calcutta Spend time with Jesus, present in the Blessed Sacrament, every Friday from 9 am to noon in the sanctuary. The monstrance will be on the main altar. To sign up for a holy hour, contact Dale Osterling at (423)664-3038. The church is also unlocked during the day for personal prayer and reflection. |
