LIT Groups
Welcome home.
Faith was never meant to be lived alone. Follow Christ with people who know your name — in homes across Northwest Ohio.
What a LIT Group is like
About an hour. Nothing to prepare.
- Gospel
- Reflect
- Share
- Pray
- Go
The LIT Gathering Guide makes room for the Gospel, real life, honest conversation, and prayer.
Your first community may already be under your roof.

Why homes?
The Church has always grown in homes.
Beneath the golden apse of San Clemente, excavators reached the deepest layer of all: a first-century Roman home, where that neighborhood’s first Christians gathered to break bread and pray for each other by name.
The faith rising in splendor above ground was born — and is still sustained — in homes.
For the one who might host
You don’t have to lead a program. You host a LIT Group.
Live IT hosts are not group leaders in the corporate sense. They are hosts in the Christian sense — the ones who set the chairs, open the Word, and hold the room in prayer. We walk with every host: a simple guide and a quiet mentoring friendship.
Begin
The Lord has always worked in small rooms. Yours may be next.
I’ve never been part of a Catholic group like this. Is that okay?
It is the norm. Most of the people you’ll meet felt exactly as you do on their first evening. Come once. Nothing is asked of you.
Do I have to know the Bible or pray out loud?
Neither. A LIT Group opens the same Gospel the whole Church is praying with that day, and you are free to simply sit and listen.
I don’t see one near me yet.
That is often the moment the Lord is inviting you to open your own living room. An evening, a Gospel, and a willingness to welcome one or two people.
Every LIT Group is built on a simple shared way of life that makes real Christian friendship possible. Building Holy Community →
