St. Jerome Parish

Spring 2023

Email Steve Picard at sjpicard526@att.net with the subject line “SJ Bible study RSVP” to be included on the Zoom meeting invitation.

St. Jerome Parish Bible study will soon begin a 7-session study of the Holy Spirit in the Bible. There will be two parallel tracks:  7 in-person sessions will be held Tuesday evenings, from 7:30 to 9pm in the Religious Education room beginning April 18; 7 online sessions will be held Thursday evenings, from 7:30 to 9pm via Zoom beginning April 20. The same material will be covered in the in-person and online sessions each week.

For this study we will use a commentary from Little Rock Scripture Study (published by Liturgical Press), by Fr. George Smiga, titled The Holy Spirit in the Bible. The commentary is available from the publisher at this link: ( The Holy Spirit in the Bible: :  George M. Smiga with Little Rock Scripture Study Staff: 9780814666630: litpress.org : Paperback )

The cost for the books is about $20, when sales tax and shipping is accounted for.  They are also available at Amazon.com.  I will have books for sale on Tuesday, April 18 at the first in-person meeting.

The Feast of Pentecost is May 28 this year, and this study will be great

preparation for you. To register for either the in-person sessions or the online sessions, please email me at sjpicard526@att.net with "Bible study" in the subject line to reserve your place or for more information.  All are welcome.  No experience necessary.
