Bible Study Apologetics Class

In order to effectively participate in Apologetics, it is important to know what we believe as Catholics, and why we believe it. Want to learn more about our faith and have your questions answered? Join us on Tuesday nights at 7 p.m. in Room B5 or via Zoom for our weekly Adult Faith Formation Bible Study/Apologetics class.

Ron Hallagan is the facilitator and has certificates in Catholic philosophy, theology, and apologetics. He has been offering this class for years through Meetup, a social media platform. Become a member at www.meetup.com/catholicbiblesudy. Through this Meetup group, you will find more information about the group, weekly invites and recaps, and more. Zoom meeting login information is the same every week: Zoom ID 861 1782 2081, Password 406952. A variety of topics are covered. Each week of the month covers a different topic: week one is a gospel passage, week two explores a book of the Bible, week three covers a general Catholic topic, and week four brings discussions and answers to questions raised by participants.

Road to Emmaus Scripture Study

“Were not our hearts burning [within us] while he spoke to us on the way and opened the scriptures to us?”

Do you want to get more out of the Sunday Liturgy of the Word? Would you like to learn more about the weekly Scriptures in a low-key, small group discussion with other parishioners? Then Road to Emmaus (RTE) is for you!

RTE provides background information and study/discussion questions on the Sunday readings during the week leading up to the weekend liturgy. The following Monday morning, we gather for small group discussion, listen to a few summary remarks, and enjoy fellowship. Join us!

10 a.m. Mondays in the Conference Room at SJN. For more information, contact Louis Wise, at 703-855-4850 or wiselouis@gmail.com
