 Bible
Study
Catholic Bible studies are an
important way of understanding the Catholic Faith. The more we
can understand the inspired writings in the books of the Bible,
the more we understand the beliefs, celebrations and rituals of
our Faith. Simply reading the Bible can be confusing, so reading
the bible with others is important.
