Much of a parish's lifeblood generates outside of Sunday Mass. Parishes throughout the Virgin Islands are nurtured by small prayer groups, workshops and social events, many of which meet on weekday evenings. As summer ends and autumn begins, many parishioners will commit themselves to spiritual and community growth by participating in these activities.
