The Bible is a rich part of the Christian tradition. Catholics may not have been encouraged to read and study the Bible on their own and in groups in the past, but that is no longer the case.(And hasn’t been for years. See the US Catholic Bishops’ Statement on Bible Study here.)

The Bible is actually not a single book, but a collection or small library of books: some poetry, some history, some myth, songs (Psalms) and prophecy. It is a wonderfully deep and rich source of wisdom, comfort and insight for those that are willing to invest the time in study and prayer. St. Mary offers multiple opportunities for Bible study.

Bible Study

Father Ben is currently offering  2 Bible Study classes each week. Tuesday nights he references the New Testament and Thursdays we covers the Old Testament. Classes start at 6:30pm and end at 8:00pm. Occasionally we will begin earlier with a pot luck dinner at 5:30 in the Social Hall, then head upstairs to church for class time. Everyone one is welcome. Join for one book, some or all. There’s no wrong time to begin studying the Bible.
