Dear Fellow Parishioners in Christ,

We have many different Bible Study options and styles available depending upon your own preferences. I have detailed them below.  If you would like to start participating in any of these or have any additional questions, please send them my way.  You are also more than welcome to join a study that is already in session and no prior attendance at previous studies is required.

NOTE:  The parish owns all the materials from previous Ascension Press studies; so arrangements can be made for anyone who wishes to go back to any of those. Also, whenever someone purchase one of the Ascension Press workbooks, he/she also has access to digital streaming of that series during the entire study and often for a short while after, too.
