ARISE Together in Christ at St. Luke's

Click here for one man's ARISE story.

An Invitation ...

With three simple words, "Come and see ..." Jesus invited the Apostles to get to know him, and each other, as they traveled together in faith. This group of acquaintances, soon to be friends, accepted Jesus' invitation and formed a small faith community.

ARISE is about building the same kind of small faith-sharing communities.

An Opportunity ...

Gathering together to learn from their Teacher, the Apostles also nourished each other by sharing their stories. They supported each other, laughed and cried together, ate and prayed together, and in the process their faith grew and their lives were enriched.

ARISE is about people like you nourishing and supporting each other as you face the challenges of life.

A Journey ...

With Christ as their center, the Apostles began a journey of faith which spanned their lifetimes and which bears fruit even today. As their spritual lives grew so did their committment to serving the poor and the needy. Using their unique God-given gifts, the sought to transform the causes of injustice in their world.

ARISE is about this spiritual journey which leads us to live the Gospel in our daily lives.

"Come and See ..."

Listen to your heart and accept the invitation! Come and learn about ARISE, a process of spiritual renewal and evangelization that enables people to develop a closer relationship with Christ, grow in community, and reach out in service to others.

"We want everyone to feel welcome, to feel that the candle is in the window calling them back in."
