Adults

Education in the faith is a lifelong journey that ebbs and flows. Opportunities for community fellowship, small groups, and individual self-reflection are offered throughout the year. We offer several Bible Study groups, a Book Club, several intergenerational groups, and numerous resources.

Monday evenings at 7:00 p.m. in the Parish Center

Beginning September 13th, we will kick off the year with a free short two-session study by Steve Ray. We will witness God's power demonstrated through Elijah and Elisha, the conscience of the kingdom, as they confront the powers arrayed against them, preparing the way for Christ.

Starting October 4th, we will take on a seven-week course called Fulfilled, Uncovering the Biblical Foundations of Catholicism Part 2 from Ascension Press. Part 2 can be independent of Part 1 but Part 1 is encouraged.

Suggested contribution of $10 for workbook only or $20 for both book and workbook.

This study will help participants:

• Explain how Jesus fulfills the Old Testament
• Become equipped to share our faith concisely
• Grow deeper in their own relationship with Christ

Wednesday Mornings at 9:30 a.m. in the Convent

Beginning October 6th, we will begin an eight-week course on Hebrews - The New and Eternal Covenant. The book of Hebrews is like a little Catechism - it will draw connections between the Old and New Testaments, the Liturgy, the Eucharist, the priesthood, and so much more.

A suggested contribution of $20 is asked if you are able.

Registration is needed to determine numbers for in-person sessions. 

This book club meets the last Wednesday of every other month from 5:30–6:30 p.m. Every other month a new book is selected and discussed. New members are always welcome to join our
no-host discussion. Recommendations for books are always welcome. 

Our September read is, When Saint Francis Saved the Church by Jon M. Sweeney. 

Separating myths from facts, Sweeney presents a surprising portrait of Saint Francis as an unpredictable, puzzling visionary who created a revolution in the Catholic Church and whose inspiring spirituality shines through Pope Francis today. Sweeny also looks at Francis' unconventional approach to friendship, people at the margins, poverty, spirituality, care of God's creations and death.

Join us September 29th at 5:30 p.m. in the parish office dining room.

Copies are available at the parish office at a suggested donation of $10. 

See below for Jodie Clark's contact to join in discussion, even if you don't finish the book.
