Dearest Bible Study Friends! Bible Study is back! Who better to come back home to but dear Saint Peter. Dr Tim Gray will be our Professor for this 10 week Study on "Peter - Cornerstone to Catholicism." Peter our rock! "The character of St. Peter is both inspiring and confounding to many of us. How could a stubborn and impulsive fisherman become the "rock" upon which Jesus would build his Church? Bringing together biblical accounts, historical evidence, Church teaching, classical art, and personal insights, Dr. Tim Gray gives a fresh perspective on Simon Peter that is immediately informative and relevant to our lives. After all, if Jesus could bring out the very best in someone like Peter, then there is hope for the rest of us."

"As a cradle Catholic I grew up accepting the teachings of my church without really understanding the basis of our beliefs. Dr. Brant Petrie insightful lectures opened up a whole new understanding of the Mass and the Eucharist to me. I found myself looking forward to our Bible study every week in spite of 12 years of Catholic education. I look forward to St Monica Faith formation future Bible study classes. "
"In studying the Old Testament and how the richness continued through Jesus and how it shapes our faith today was a real eye opener. I loved the question “What was your ‘aha!’ moment?” Every video presentation had an Aha! moment.
The following group discussions brought a greater understanding in how we practice our faith with one another. Different opinions and observations are safely shared.
I personally felt being closer to God. The Holy Spirit has always tried to get the message across and now I seem to understand a little more clearly. I’m very thankful that St Monica’s will continue these enriching programs. "
"After Covid, St. Monica is offering again Bible Study under the leadership of Cathi Farber. Whether you are a cradle Catholic or a convert you will be amazed at how much you will learn and appreciate our beautiful Catholic faith. The past ten weeks we have been studying the Eucharist and its origin and development. Brant Pitre, a well-known theologian and teacher who now works with the Augustine Institute, vividly and in an engaging manner brings to life ancient sources of the Eucharist in the Old Testament and their connection with the New Testament. It is fascinating to understand the Eucharist in which we all participate and celebrate."
