The Spiritual Enrichment for Adults Ministry is composed of a group of parishioners working to support the ongoing faith journey of all members of Saint Mary Magdalene Parish. This ministry provides opportunities for learning more about our Catholic faith through planning retreats, faith sharing, discussion groups, Lenten and Advent events, and special events.
Ministry Chair: Lori Melton, [email protected]
Spiritual Enrichment invites everyone to gather weekly to reflect on the gospel of the day. Please join us to reflect, pray, and grow in faith together. While there will be copies of the gospel available, we invite you to bring your own bible. Please bring your own lunch. Beverages will be available.
Wednesdays, St. James Chapel, 12 to 1 pm.

A Lectio Divina group is not a Bible study, which focuses on cognitive learning and people sharing their ideas and opinions about Scripture.
We will read the gospel of the day and reflect on the following in silence.:
Silent Prayer
In Lectio Divina groups, sharing in silent prayer can be a bonding experience. It’s an opportunity for group members to hold one another in Christ’s loving presence.
