- The mission and purpose of the “Lets Dine In” group is to create a opportunity for parishioners to get to know one another in a home setting. Each group consists of six to eight people, singles and couples. Each group meets together about once a month at one another's homes each bringing their assigned part of the meal to share. After a four-month cycle the groups are shuffled, adding in any new members.
