Studies will run from September 8th through October 13th on Wednesdays from 6:00 PM -7:30 PM in the Church Hall
Why should we study the bible? St. Jerome, a priest and Doctor of the Church, famously insisted that “Ignorance of Scripture is ignorance of Christ.” If we are to be authentic disciples of Jesus Christ, therefore, an ongoing and ever-deeper encounter with Scripture is simply required of us.
What will be studied? Each week the Old and New Testament readings will be studied for the upcoming Sunday Liturgy. Thus each week is a new beginning, and if you have to miss a particular study session you will never be left behind! Successive series of study sessions will also be conducted to follow the readings of the liturgical year — we will simply be studying the Scriptures along with the whole Church.
How will the studies be conducted? The class will be conducted by way of lecture and collaborative conversation/questions. There will be no homework or advance preparation necessary for any session. Just show up and participate in whatever way is most comfortable for you. There is no cost to participate. We provide the necessary readings for you each week. We will also provide recommendations for more extensive study materials that can be pursued outside of class, for those who might be interested.
Thanks and please notify me at [email protected] or at 314.686.9110 if you are interested in participating or just show up
In Christ,
Deacon Joe Fragale
