Scripture and Religious study groups usually meet in the St. Joseph Room but currently are meeting online due to the coronavirus. We encourage you to join the meeting time that fits your schedule. New studies are ongoing, so check back often to see what the next study will be. 

While we often focus on Scripture Studies in our meetings, we periodically diversify our offerings by looking at Church councils, Church history, moral and theological Church teachings, prayer, discipleship, evangelization, holiness, and more. 

Our next study will focus on the book by Dr. John Bergsma, Jesus and the Dead Sea Scrolls: Revealing the Jewish Roots of Christianity. This study will begin the first week of March 2021. This is an 8-week study.

Participants are asked to order their own copy of the book. You can get it on Amazon by clicking HERE. 

The Monday evening group will meet online from 7 to 8 PM.
The Wednesday morning group will meet online from 10 to 11 AM. All registered participants will be emailed a link to join these online meetings.

If you currently are not on Sean's Scripture and Religious Studies email list and would like to be added, send Sean an email at s.mcveigh@dbqarch.org and let him know. He will send out a link for the online meeting.

Lastly, the playlist of videos for this study is listed below.
 

RCIA, Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults, meets on Sundays. Although RCIA is generally intended for people who want to receive their Sacraments of Initiation and be fully initiated into the Catholic faith, we invite ALL parishioners to attend our RCIA sessions.

Hearing the class presentations from the Catechism is very enriching for anyone's faith. Some parishioners come in order to receive a refresher on some of the core teachings of Catholicism. Others come because they have never had an opportunity to hear the Church's teachings in a structured setting. Regardless of where you are at in your faith journey, it is very likely you will find these sessions enriching. You can watch a playlist of our RCIA presentations using this link HERE.

For more information regarding any of the above programming, please contact our Adult Faith Formation Director, Sean McVeigh, at s.mcveigh@dbqarch.org or 319.377.4869.
