How to Participate:

Scripture and Religious study groups usually meet in the St. Joseph Room. We encourage you to join any or all that fit your schedule. New studies are ongoing, so check back often to see what the next study will be. If there are books or materials associated with a study, you can order those resources here or through the group coordinator.

While we often focus on Scripture Studies in our meetings, we periodically diversify our offerings by looking at things such as Church councils, Church history, moral and theological Church teachings pertinent to our times, prayer, discipleship, evangelization, holiness, and more. Our current studies are listed below.

Who am I to Judge? - A study on moral relativism - How to address it, talk about it, and handle it. This is an 8-week course beginning 
Monday, November 12th, from 6:30 to 7:30 PM.
These sessions are also being offered starting
Wednesday, November 14th, from 9:30 to 10:25 AM.
(No pre-registration is necessary.)

Evangelization training workshop being offered on two different days of the week. This is an 8-week series beginning on
Monday, November 12th, from 7:45 to 8:45 PM. 
These sessions are also being offered starting
Wednesday, November 14th, from 10:35 to 11:30 AM.
(No pre-registration is necessary.) For more details click HERE.

No registration is necessary for the evangelization training. Meetings will be held in the St. Joseph Room unless otherwise stated (if we have more than will fit in the St. Joseph Room we will move to the Church Hall in the basement of the Church). Participants are encouraged to bring their Bible, pen/pencil, highlighter, and notepad.

You will learn how to spontaneously pray with others, handle challenging religious conversations, create Catholic culture through casual conversation, explain the core teachings of Catholicism, develop and share your personal testimony in an evangelization situation, and more. By the end of this 8-week series, you should feel more confident and equipped to have nourishing conversations about your Catholic faith with others.

This evangelization series is intended for everyone: from those who just want to know how to defend or explain their beliefs when challenged by family or friends, to those who want to be able to take their faith into the streets and effectively share it with others.
