Wednesdays • 7:00 p.m.
School Library

Saint Catherine Labouré’s Bible Study Group reassembled for its eighth year this past Wednesday, October 20 from 7:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. and every subsequent Wednesday in the school library and on Zoom. Join Chuck Petrie for our annual “Meet the Bible on Friendly Terms” discussion. The Bible is not a collection of easy-to-read books, but it is accessible to everyone once we understand its historical background and the writing styles of its many authors.

Email Chuck at PetrieLaw@aol.com with questions and to receive a weekly email with an outline of the topic for the upcoming classes.

Grief is a natural reaction to loss, and mourning is our intentional response.  Parishioners who have experienced the loss of a loved one are invited to participate in a weekly Support Group program based on the Grieving with Great Hope series.  Facilitators are gentle, caring individuals who themselves have experienced the loss of a loved one.  Participants need not attend all sessions.  Registration is not required but requested for planning purposes.  If interested, contact the parish office at 717.564.1321 or click here to register.
