Feeding our Faith

Thursdays at 12:30PM in the Library

We gather in the Library (the room with the windows that face 8th Street) for an informal review of the scripture. Knock on the door the left of the windows if you can’t find your way in. As with all of our Bible Studies: this is a “drop-in-as-you-can” class there is no preparation and there is no homework.

Thursdays at 10:30PM in the Library

If you have lost a loved one recently or in your past, if the changes and chances of your life are rocking your boat, if you are just grieving, this is the gathering of welcoming souls, judgement -free discussion and restful compassion that you have been looking for. Contact Mo. Catherine if you would like to participate.

Fridays at 10 and 11:30 in Lent

Romans is one of the most influential pieces of St. Paul’s writing and it profoundly informs our Christian tradition. This Bible study will challenge us but we will journey together with Paul as we examine and form our faith. Two sessions, come to whichever works for you. As with all of our Bible Studies: this is a “drop-in-as-you-can” class there is no preparation and there is no homework.

Next up in our VBS (Vacation Book Study) is an easy read from a charming writer. See the review below or find it here.

“ Between Heaven and Mirth will make any reader smile. . . . Father Martin reminds us that happiness is the good God’s own goal for us.” —Timothy M. Dolan, Archbishop of New York From one of America’s most beloved spiritual leaders and the New York Times bestselling author of The Jesuit Guide to (Almost) Everything and A Pilgrimage Father James Martin, SJ, comes a revolutionary look at how you can change your life and save your spirit through joy, humor, and laughter. Martin shares how you can strike a healthy balance between spirituality and daily life and live as a joyful believer. In Between Heaven and Mirth , he uses scriptural passages, the lives of the saints, the spiritual teachings of other traditions, and his own personal reflections to show us why joy is the inevitable result of faith, because a healthy spirituality and a healthy sense of humor go hand-in-hand with God's great plan for humankind.

Matt Vine’s God and the Gay Christian is a foundational reading for people wondering what the Bible does say about our LGBTQIA+ friends, and how to respond with Christian kindness to those with whom we disagree. This small group will begin meeting after Easter Sunday. Please reach out to Mo. Shay for information.
