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.

RCIA
RCIA, Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults, meets on Sundays at 9:15 AM.
Although RCIA is generally intended for people who want to receive their Sacraments of Initiation and be fully received into the Catholic faith, we invite all parishioners to attend our sessions. This includes people who are Catholic and have all of their Sacraments of Initiation but also want to learn more about their faith.
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.
