There is so much to learn about our Catholic Faith!  As we journey through life to come to know, love and serve God, it is important to enrich one’s mind and heart in the Love and Magnificence of God’s revelation to us in order to recognize His dynamic Presence in our lives.

During the next few years at St. Francis, we will be focusing on studying the Bible through the beauty of the Catholic lens. Grow in knowledge of the Scriptures while deepening your understanding of the riches of our faith.   Journey through Scripture looking at the entire Bible
and how all of its parts work together. 
 
You have the option to attend on Sundays at 12:30pm or on Wednesdays at 7:00pm.

Fall 2019 – Genesis to Jesus

What is the Bible, where does it come from, and what is its purpose? How are Catholics supposed to read the Bible and what story does it tell?  These are the ever-important questions answered in Genesis to Jesus.

Winter 2020 – The Bible and the Sacraments

The Bible and the Sacraments is unlike any other study on the Sacraments. Certainly it looks at the basic teaching of the Church as to their meaning and origin. But it goes further. It investigates the deeper mystery of the Sacraments as illuminated by Sacred Scripture.
Examining the rich relationship between the Old and New Testaments, it reveals the Sacraments as more than mere earthly rituals. They are incredible “‘powers that come forth’ from the Body of Christ” (CCC 1116).
