Education in the faith is a life long journey that ebbs and flows. Opportunities for community fellowship, small groups and individual self-reflection are offered throughout the year. We offer several Bible Study groups, a Book Club, several intergenerational groups and numerous resources.

This fall we will offer three different bible studies to choose from.

First, we are offering 7 Deadly Sins, 7 Lively Virtues by Word on Fire and Bishop Robert Barron. This study program is facilitated by Paul & Nancy Rising on Monday evenings at 7:00 p.m. using Zoom.

Our second offering is Unlocking the Mysteries of the Bible by Ascension Press.  This is a great study for anyone new to Bible Studies or those who want to learn more about the Bible. This 8 week study is also facilitated by Paul & Nancy Rising and meets Tuesday evenings at 7:00 p.m. using Zoom.

Our third offering is Mary by Ascension Press. This study is facilitated by Jim and Barbara Cathcart on Wednesday mornings at 10:00 a.m.using Zoom.

Books are available in the parish office for a suggested contribution of $20 each. 

This book club meets virtually the last Wednesday of every other month from 5:30–6:30 p.m. Every other month a new book is selected and discussed. New members are always welcome to join our
no-host discussion. Recommendations for books are always welcome. 

Join a virtual discussion of our November book, Heaven's Splendor on Wednesday, November 25 from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m. Just email Jodie at jclark@stcharlesb.org to register. You can still get books from the parish office or mailed out to you. See what the saints have to say on Heaven.
