Bible Study & Reflection : Sundays 11:45 A.M.
Explore Scripture with Us
Our Scripture sessions bring together seekers like you to dive deeply into the Bible. Together, we explore the text itself—its historical context, the author’s perspective, the literary style, and its deeper meaning. Guided by the understanding that Scripture does not stand alone (John 20:30; 21:25; 2 Thessalonians 2:15; 2 John 1:12; 3 John 1:13-14), we also connect passages to the rich tradition and teachings of the Church spanning 2,000 years.
We reflect on how pivotal moments in history, including the Reformation and the Catholic Counter-Reformation, have shaped the Bible and the journey toward Christian unity. Through thoughtful discussion and reflection, our sessions illuminate the Bible as an inspired text and inspire the growth of authentic morality and spirituality in everyday Christian life.

Order of Christian Initiation of Adults (O.C.I.A.)
Journey into the Catholic Faith: OCIA
The Order of Christian Initiation of Adults (OCIA) is a faith journey for adults who are unbaptized or baptized in other Christian traditions, guiding them through catechetical, moral, and spiritual teachings in preparation for the sacraments of initiation: Baptism, Confirmation, and Eucharist (also known as Holy Communion).
For those new to Catholicism, the journey begins with a period of inquiry, a time to explore and question the beliefs and practices developed over the Church’s 2,000-year history. After this period, individuals may choose to commit to continue, entering pre-sacramental instruction, which leads to the celebration of the sacraments they seek. Following initiation, every member of the Church is encouraged to pursue lifelong faith formation—growing spiritually, morally, intellectually, and pastorally through retreats, Bible studies, doctrinal instruction, and active stewardship of time, talent, and treasure. Simply put, OCIA helps participants make a lifelong commitment to follow Jesus as practicing Catholic Christians.
The process is guided by a diverse team of trained Catholic leaders, including professionals from medicine, law, real estate, education, and military service, and people from various religious backgrounds—Buddhist, Jewish, Protestant, and cradle Catholics. This diversity, paired with engaging methods and a wide range of topics, makes the sessions enriching not only for participants but also for fully initiated Catholics seeking deeper understanding.
You are warmly invited to join us on this transformative journey.
