The Circle of Faith
Welcome!
A warm and blessed welcome to the Circle of Faith Catholic Community website! Here you'll find information about our linkage, our parishes, our history, our schedules, and our ministries... Even the bulletins and newsletters, but there's so much more! We want this website to help us share our faith with each other in many ways. May God bless you! Please visit us often!
“For our sake Christ was obedient, accepting even death, death on a cross. Therefore God raised him on high and gave him the name above all other names.”

Transform us, O Lord with Easter Joy! No single event has affected so many lives over the course of human history as the Resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ from the dead nearly two thousand years ago. As Jesus approached Calvary, things became pretty chaotic for His disciples. Peter would deny knowing Jesus, and Judas would kill himself after betraying and having Jesus arrested for 30 silver pieces. Everything seemed so bleak. But all that changed when Jesus rose again. The faith and hope of the apostles and disciples would be restored. As Jesus approached Calvary, things became pretty chaotic for His disciples. Peter would deny knowing Jesus, and Judas would kill himself after betraying and having Jesus arrested for 30 silver pieces. Everything seemed so bleak. But all that changed when Jesus rose again. The faith and hope of the apostles and disciples would be restored. Jesus would command them to go forth and make disciples of the whole world and they would do so with renewed dedication. They stayed in Jerusalem waiting for the Holy Spirit to come upon them as Jesus had promised. Then came Pentecost, when these disciples experienced Jesus’ presence in a most powerful way. Welcome to the Faith!!! Congratulations to our three new members of the Circle of Faith who have gone through the RCIA process and will be confirmed at the Holy Saturday Mass. FATHER RON’S RETIREMENT PARTY Father Ron’s Retirement Party has been scheduled for Sunday, June 22 at Pott’s Beverly Gardens. The office managers will help to coordinate the event but need a few people from each parish to take it over and make it happen. Please call your parish office if you are able to help. LINKAGE TRANSITION UPDATE Representatives of each parish in the Circle of Faith are meeting to help facilitate changes as Father Ron retires on June 30. The diocese has determined that we will be divided into two clusters — All Saints, Holy Trinity, and St. Mary in one group, and St. James and St. Joseph comprising a second cluster. The Transition Team hopes to retain all or most of the shared programs and ministries that the Circle of Faith has developed. If you have questions, comments or concerns, please contact a representative from your parish listed below:
RECONCILIATION The Sacrament of Penance is offered every Saturday morning from 9am until 10am at All Saints Church. BISHOP’S APPEAL: HAVE YOU BEEN BLESSED?
