Facebook GroupsGroups are a place to communicate about shared interests with certain people. You can create a group for anything — your parish, bible study group, book clubs, youth groups, etc. .

To create a group:

1. Click   in the top right of Facebook and select Group.

2. Enter your group name, choose

the privacy option and then add people to your group.

3. Click Create.

Once you create your group, you personalize it by uploading a cover photo and adding a description.

Note: We recommend that group admins share any commercial or business affiliations in the group, as well as updating the group if affiliations change. You can update the group by changing the group description and making an announcement.

Should I Create a Closed or Open Group?Communication that happens in a closed group can only be seen by other members of the group, making it a secret place that only specific people can access. You should always choose a closed group because that allows you to maintain the uniqueness of your group as well as enable safe conversations.
