How do we feed a longing for God and understanding of our Sacred Scriptures?
Many Catholic adults were never taught about the Bible and feel inadequate in answering their children's questions.
Others seek to grow in a deeper understanding of the texts so they may more fully pray and understand the proclamations at liturgy.
Sister Barbara Schwarz, OP has an MA in Biblical Theology and the ability to connect daily life with scripture study as well as in her preaching.
Programs
Scripture Courses/Workshops
The Word of God is ever ancient
Ever new, Ever alive
and waiting to be heard.
The scriptures have always been
a communal experience. Why not
have a study group or course in your parish or school to share them.
