Scripture and Religious study groups usually meet in the St. Joseph Room. We encourage you to join any 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 current or future study, you can order those resources on this page or through our Director of Adult Faith Formation.

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.

 

Our next study is a 15-week study that will begin on September 14th for the Monday group and the 16th for the Wednesday group. Our Monday meetings begin at 7 PM and our Wednesday meetings begin at 9:30 AM.
Due to the pandemic, we will continue to meet online. A link to the online meeting will be emailed to all participants. There is a video series that accompanies this study that will be included in the email. All participants will watch the video in advance and we will discuss the videos and study materials during the meetings.

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 the faith. Others come because they have never had an opportunity to hear the Church's teachings in a structured setting. Regardless of where you are in your faith journey, it is very likely you will find these sessions very enriching. This year we will begin our process with meetings online.

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.
