God sent prophets at critical times to call the people back to their covenant relationship with him. Prophets proclaimed the consequences of continued sin, called people to repentance, and declared God’s faithful love. They also spoke of the future to shed light on current events and to reveal God’s plans and purposes. In The Prophets: Messengers of God’s Mercy, discover how God is constantly calling you to a deeper relationship with him, as well as the ways you are called to be the voice of God to others.

How to Pray Like Mary

• Every Other Wednesday at 9:15am in the St. Isidore Room
• 6 sessions, beginning January 4th 

Listen, and respond, like Mary at the Annunciation. Mary has been called the "mother of listening." She didn't just hear the Word; she pondered it in light of her own relationships and circumstances and then let it transform her. Sonja Corbitt is a best-selling author and one of the most dynamic and compelling new voices in the Church today. Starting with Mary's response at the Annunciation, Sonja will show you how to pray with Scripture under the guidance of the Blessed Mother. Contact Renee Fischer at reneedfischer@gmail.com with questions.

Parousia - WOMEN ONLY

• 3rd Tuesday of Each Month, 7:15-9:00pm, in the St. Isidore Room
• 8-sessions, beginning October 18th

Where do we find the Mass in the Bible? What is the relationship between the two? In ten beautifully produced lessons, Parousia: The Bible and the Mass answers these questions and more.

In the latest video Bible study from the St. Paul Center, discover why the liturgy is a major theme that runs through the entire Bible, from Genesis to the Book of Revelation. We will not only look to the Law, the Prophets, and life and teachings of Jesus, we’ll also lean on the Doctors of the Church to enhance our understanding of the Mass. We’ll see how the New Testament is concealed in the Old, the Old is revealed in the New, and why both point directly to the Mass, the sign of the New Covenant.

The Case for Jesus
​​​​​Can we trust the Gospels? Do we really know who wrote them?  Do the Gospels communicate truth - or fabricated fables? Who is Jesus? Who did Jesus claim to be? Join Dr. Brant Pitre as he draws evidence from both early Christian and non-Christian writings attesting to the authenticity, authorship, and dating of the Gospels, and as he gives an in-depth look at the Gospel accounts of Jesus’s Crucifixion, Resurrection, and the proclamation of Christ’s divinity. Dr. Pitre’s powerful presentation will strengthen your faith so that you can not only stand firm and profess that Jesus truly is “the Christ, the Son of the living God,” but also confidently respond to any skeptics you encounter.
