WHAT IS KOINONIA? What are these small groups about?
Pronounced: Koy-no-nee-ya
Simply put, KOINONIA groups are Catholic youth and their friends coming together to have conversations in a warm, relaxed setting about meaningful issues in life and how faith helps make sense of it all. Each gathering includes food, fun and faith sharing.
Here at St. Veronica we are inviting young people from 9th grade through high school to form small groups. The goal is to help young people respond to God’s gracious activity in their lives – that means recognizing how much God has given us and wants us to draw closer to Him.
