Passionist Family Group Movement
Aims and Goals
We try to model ourselves on the early Christians, and build community within the Parish, by sharing our Christian life and supporting each other. Adults give example to their children and involve them in their Christian sharing.
What is a Family Group and what does it do?
A Family Group consists of some 10-14 'units' (a unit can be a single person, to a family with many children), with a variety of ages, as has an extended family. The groups meet monthly for picnics, casserole nights, games nights etc. This is the way people get to know each other and bonds slowly develop.
Who can join?
Family Groups are open to all who follow the Christian ethos, regardless of age, marital status etc. The parish of St. Paul's, Glen Osmond has 12 Groups.
Developing Relationships
In Family Groups, we encourage people to be themselves, to take time to share with others, to listen to other's stories and tell our own.
The Spiritual Dimension
Our acts of kindness, personal concern and group sharing have a vital spiritual basis which reflects the gospel call to act. Family Groups see their priority as living their faith in practical, day to day ways.
Our Logo
The heart and the people symbolise a willingness to deepen Christian love and acceptance of others. Since the Cross is very much within people's lives, it is the centre of the logo. The motto, "A Family for All", reinforces the practical reality that all members of the Community are welcome to belong.
