Bible Study

We read Gospel and then the Gospel reads us!

This weekly gathering of students is an opportunity to reflect on and discuss how the upcoming Gospel reading for Mass on Sunday speaks to us in our everyday lives.  Participants learn how to approach Scripture with both head and heart and are challenged to “get out of the way” and let God’s Word speak to them.

Bible Study is held on Wednesdays at 7:00 PM in the Campus Ministry Conference Room, The DeNaples Center, Room 200. Any questions, please contact Patty Pivirotto via email or at 570-941-5458.
