The mission of Catholic Scripture Study is to bring people closer to Jesus Christ and His Church through in-depth Bible study. This program is for individuals seeking inspiring, in-depth Scripture study that is completely faithful to the teachings of the Catholic Church (Tradition-Scripture-Magisterium). The study commentaries are written by leading Scripture scholars and authors, and each study contains references to the Catechism of the Catholic Church, papal encyclicals, and writings of the early Church Fathers and the saints.

Classes start in Sept and continue through the school year into spring. Each week the group meets via Zoom for a 1.5 hour session, which includes prayer, introduction, small group discussion of assigned questions (usually 4-6 each week) and then a 30-min video lecture by a Catholic priest or scripture scholar.

Catholic Scripture Study Fall 2024

  • Fall 2024 (Sep. 17 – Oct. 22): In the Augustine Institute’s Lectio series, Dr. Tim Gray uses the discipline of Lectio Divina to show you how to make prayer an effective effort of love and intimacy with God. In six video sessions, “Lectio: Prayer: Finding Intimacy with God” captures the secret to opening our hearts and minds to Scripture as the means to hear from God and then respond in conversation, basking in His presence, and resolving to live in and through His love.
  • This study is available to Formed.org subscribers. (A free Formed.org subscription is available from the parish.) The videos can be accessed in digital format for free on the Formed.org site. The study guides ($24.95++ each) can be purchased at the Catholic Market website. A bulk order at the discounted rate of ~$12.50/guide (with tax/shipping) is being arranged for those who register by August 23rd and can pick up their study guides at St. Andrew’s. After this date, participants must purchase their own study guides.
  • The Fall 2024 study will be conducted online via Zoom for both the women’s and co-ed groups. 
  • To register for the women’s group or co-ed group, please complete the registration form below. Early registration deadline is August 23, 2024. After this date, participants can still register but are responsible for purchasing their own study guides.
