Milaca/Mora/Foreston/Ogilvie – 4 Pillars in Faith ACC
Social gatherings include monthly fellowship nights, weekly women’s group, monthly Oasis nights (Adoration, praise and worship, confession), monthly “faith nights,” outdoor activities, conferences, and more.
Mission: It is said that you become like the 10 people you spend the most time with. With whom and where do you currently spend the most time? Is this answer leading you closer to God or not? Jesus chose a small band of people to grow in fellowship with, who learned from Him and loved one another. They then were able to go out in pairs and bring this truth to others. We as humans crave community of some kind. It is this Ministry’s goal to provide Catholic Christian fellowship opportunities for growth and wholesome fun, gathering to make memories and friends for a lifetime!
