What is R.E.A.Ch. (Religious Education for Adult Chris-

tians)? It is a group of Parishioners that meets each

week after the 10am Mass in the Meeting Room. We

study and interpret the Sacred Scripture in accor-

dance with Catholic tradition and within the bounds of

the Catholic Catechism (literal sense and the Spiritual

Senses—allegorical, moral, and anagogical and the

Magisterium). So if you are hungry for understanding

and want to read Scripture but don’t know how, or

you are frustrated by your lack of understanding, or

even where to start we can help. Newcomers are al-

ways welcome, and you can join us anytime, even if

you cannot attend each week. You can come and

just listen or participate if you desire, no advance

preparation required. This is a great opportunity to

those parents that have children in Youth Formation.

Bibles are available, no books to buy! Contact Joe

Oliveti for more information 214-718-3399. Coffee and

donuts are available.
