Catholic Scripture Study offers studies that are enjoyed by beginners and the more advanced Bible students! This dynamic Bible study and fellowship will increase your love of Scripture and strengthen your faith! Classes are on Monday evenings and Thursday mornings from September through April. We began a 16-week study of St. Paul's letter, 1st Corinthians, in September. In January we will begin a 12-week study of 2nd Corinthians, St. Paul's most personal letter.

1st and 2nd Corinthians
From Catholic Scripture Study International
Catholic Scripture Study International (CSS) is an in-depth yet easy-to-understand study that is written in light of Catholic Tradition. It offers solid scripture teaching that is easy for beginners to understand, yet informative and challenging enough for the more advanced Bible student. This is the sixteenth year that CSS is offered at our parish. However, no previous Bible Study experience is necessary in order to enjoy these classes!
Classes will take place on Monday evenings and on Thursday mornings. Choose the day most convenient for you! Classes for 2nd Corinthians will begin on Monday, January 24 at 7 PM, and Thursday, January 27 at 9:45 AM in the Education Center. Steve Ray has written the commentary, and Fr. Patrick Winslow gives the lectures, for this study. We have enjoyed Steve Ray's commentaries and Fr. Patrick's lectures in previous studies!
Lectures: We will view a lecture video at the beginning of each class, but we will also have links to the lecture videos so they can be watched at home, too, if interested.
Classes: We meet in the Education Center to begin with prayer, watch the lecture together, and then break into small groups for discussion in other classrooms. The homework for all classes each week includes reading the commentary and answering 7 or 8 questions.
Registration: The cost of the study guide for 2nd Corinthians is $17. Fill out the registration form online at the bottom of this page.

You may also print the form (where it says "Registration Form - 2nd Corinthians" at the link above) and mail it with a check payable to: Most Blessed Sacrament Church.
