Icebreaker (10 min)

Do this if people don't know each other

  • “Everyone think of a famous person with the same first name as you” e.g., “Justin Bieber,” “Queen Elizabeth.”

  • The first person says their name and then the celebrity name. The next person says their name and celebrity name and that of the person before them.

  • Each person must try and repeat all the names of the guests preceding them from memory. The host is the last person to go and repeats the names of everyone in the group.

  • Be quick to help any guests who might find this more difficult.

Discussion Questions (40 min)

These questions are to help guide your discussion. There is no need to get through them all. Use the ones that help the discussion flow and progress.
(This week the Exploring and Deepening stream questions are the same.)

  1. Why did you decide to come to the Connect Group?

  2. What has been hard for you over the past two years? Would you say that has been an experience of emptiness? Why or why not?

  3. Where do you find fulfilment?

  4. Where would you like to find fulfilment in your life?

  5. What struck you from the homily?
