Bible Study

St. Jerome Parish Bible Study begins the year with an 11-week study of the Gospel According to Luke.  This gospel is featured at mass on most Sundays this year.

 

We offer two opportunities for this first Bible study of 2025:  1) in-person in the St. Jerome Parish Hall on Tuesday evenings from 7:30 to 9pm, beginning Tuesday, January 21; or, 2) on-line via Zoom on Thursday evenings from 7:30 to 9pm, beginning Thursday, January 23.  The same material will be covered in the two sessions each week.

 

No experience is necessary.  All are welcome.  The textbooks for the course will cost about $30.  To participate, you can register for either track of this study by email.  Email Steve Picard at sjpicard526@att.net with the phrase “SJ Bible study” in the subject line to let him know which evening you would like to attend, or if you have any questions.
