Groups
The Sanctuary caters for a variety of different groups based on age and gender. Here are some of the current groups that meet regularly at the Sanctuary...
Fourvière Men's Group
Once a month on a Tuesday evening, men of all ages gather at the Chapel for a small word on confession from a priest and an hour of adoration before the exposed Blessed Sacrament. They then enjoy South African style Beef BBQ Steak and potluck dinner at Fourvière House. A $10 fee covers the cost of a large steak cooked to perfection.
"Know the Word" Girl's Group (for girls aged 12-17 years)
Girls meet fortnightly on a Thursday afternoon 3pm - 5pm for Lectio Divina and Crafts led by Sr Monica of the Community of the Beatitudes.
"Little Flowers" Girls Group (for girls aged 8-12 years)
Girls meet on the afternoon of the third Thursday of each month from 3pm to 5pm for a teaching on virtues through studying the scriptures, saints’ biographies and the Catechism of the Catholic Church.
"Little Ones" Adoration Group (for children aged 0-5 years)
The Children meet with a parent at the Shrine of Mary, Mother of the Light for a time with Mary and a small meditation followed by a time in the Chapel with the Blessed Sacrament for 15 minutes before Mass. Each child receives an individual blessing from Fr with the Blessed Sacrament.
