Cell Structure
A parish cell is a faith group of 4 to 12 people, who meet every two weeks in the informal setting of a home. Each invites family members, friends and neighbours.
When 12 regularly attend two groups are formed. In this way a great network of groups grow within a parish, which offers a welcome to all. Such a parish can be called a “community of communities.”
The aim of the parish cell group is to foster within a parish a greater community spirit and an awareness of God in a more personal way.
A cell group provides a place where friendships are formed and faith deepens. It enables people to see the relevance of their faith in all that they do so that they can make a difference in the varying circumstances of each day.
