Weekly Bible Study Resumes Are Catholic Chris ans “Bible Chris ans?” The resounding answer is “Absolutely YES!” As Catholics we believe that the Bible is the inspired word of God wri en in the words of man. Catholics are indeed Bible Chris ans and perhaps there is no other aspect of our faith that exemplifies this than the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. The structure of the Mass, its words and gestures, and even its

built-in theology are embedded in the pages Sacred Scripture. Therefore, our first area for in-depth study will be “The Mass and the Bible.” Our Bible Study will be held online. Classes will be held Saturdays from 9:30-11:30 am. We will be using an online program known as “Zoom.” Deacon Michael will provide detailed instruc ons on how you can par cipate from the comfort of your home. If you would like to par cipate in our Bible Study, please contact Deacon Michael at 288-3036 or michael.russo@atlan cbb.net .
