Wednesday Scripture Study
Begin a beautiful weekly tradition of preparing your heart for God’s word. You are invited to join the Wednesday morning bible study in the large conference room at 8:45am, every week, to read and discuss the upcoming Readings, Psalm, and Gospel for Sunday's Mass. We use the Workbooks for Lectors and Proclaimers of the Word, which has great commentaries for each reading. To learn more, contact Barbara Brown (719-650-1422) or Stephanie Kemp (719-481-4355). (Please note: this group takes a break during the summer months.)

Matthew provides the key to understanding the New Testament and Christ as the fulfillment of God’s plan.
