Walking with Purpose
During our Fall 2023 - Spring 2024 season, we will be offering two Bible studies: "Opening Your Heart" and "Touching the Divine". Both 22-week studies will be offered simultaneously during our Wednesday morning and evening sessions.
Unlocking the Mystery of the Bible
Many Catholics want to read the Bible but get bogged down by the long stretches that seem not to make sense or get lost among the sea of Old Testament names and places. Unlocking the Mystery of the Bible, an eight-part Bible study, helps you uncover the story woven throughout Scripture, so you can get the “big picture” of the Bible and understand what it’s all about. Aided by a unique color-coded Bible Timeline Chart that arranges the key people, places, and events of the Bible in chronological order, Unlocking the Mystery of the Bible will help you pick up the Bible with confidence and understand how you fit into God’s plan.
Family Formation and Confirmation
Family Formation and Confirmation classes are moving to Wednesday nights from 6:00-7:30 this year. Our first class will be Wednesday, September 13.
Pipes, Pints, and Pizza
The Sacred Music Program will host Pipes, Pints, and Pizza on Saturday, September 9, at 5:15 p.m. This event will include a short presentation on how the pipe organ works and why our current organ console needs to be replaced. After the demonstration, enjoy pizza and pints (beer and soda) in the gathering space.
