I am not afraid. I was born for this.

St. Joan of Arc

This Winter you are invited to dive into the life-changing message at the heart of the Gospel. Please join us on this eight-week journey with
The Rescue Project.


Why Rescue?

The Rescue Project addresses one of the most urgent challenges of our time: sharing the Gospel in a way that captivates the heart and mind. It offers a fresh perspective that goes beyond cultural narratives, revealing a story of hope, purpose, and truth that changes everything.

For many, Christianity can feel like a set of rules or obligations. Without a deeper understanding, faith risks becoming routine. The Rescue Project invites participants to experience the Gospel in a way that ignites passion and opens the door to the adventure of following Jesus and continuing His mission in the world.

 

Who is it for?

The Rescue Project is for everyone! Whether you’ve been a committed follower of Jesus for years or you’re simply curious about who He is and what He represents, this journey will resonate with you. It’s a space for both seasoned believers and those exploring faith for the first time.

What to Expect

The Rescue Project is more than a program; it’s an encounter. Over eight weeks, you’ll experience the Gospel through a blend of meaningful activities:

  • Fellowship Build connections in a welcoming and supportive environment. Light refreshments will be served.
  • Dynamic Presentations Engage with captivating video content that brings the message of the Gospel to life.
  • Conversation Participate in thought-provoking discussions in small groups, fostering authentic dialogue and community.
  • Prayer Explore spirituality through moments of reflection and worship, making space for God to move in your life,

The journey concludes with a special Rescue Retreat Day, a time to reflect deeply and solidify the impact of the experience.

What does a Rescue gathering look like?
Rescue starts off with refreshments and fellowship, followed by a dynamic video presentation. The experience also includes a group discussion at tables, where the presentation can be broken open and made more personal. There are also times for prayer and worship. It’s a great opportunity to grow in your faith and meet other people.


What is the Retreat Day?

The retreat is the summit of The Rescue Project. This is the occasion to ask the Holy Spirit to powerfully renew our understanding of what Jesus has done for us and mobilize us (for mission) with the conviction that we truly were born for this. And to give us the grace to be His love and spread His love in a way that we have never done before.

 

The day includes music, great food, building friendships, thought-provoking presentations, discussion opportunities, and specific times for prayer.


How long does Rescue last?

Rescue Project is an 8-week opportunity that includes a ½ -day retreat experience on a Saturday. The course meets for 8 weeks in a row.


Does it cost money?

Thankfully, we are able to offer Rescue Project at no cost to parishioners.


I'm married. Should I sit with my spouse?

Great question  – and it’s totally up to you! Some spouses like to sit together and go through the journey side by side. Other spouses have found a benefit from sitting separately and then sharing their experiences together away from the Rescue Project session.
