Fr. Bobbin's Scripture Study
… will be offered Thursday evenings 6:30-7:30 on September 9, 16, 23, October 7, 14, 21, 28, and November 18. Join us in person in Longinus Hall (usually) or at home on Zoom (Please email Father for the Zoom link: kbobbin@allentowndiocese.org). Fr. Bobbin's Scripture study attempts to give an overview and background for the books of Sacred Scripture to be of help with personal reading and study, Bible study groups, and getting more out of hearing the Word proclaimed at Mass. All are welcome.

Christ is alive and fully present in the Eucharist. Join us as we delve into the “source and summit” of our Faith with Bishop Robert Barron’s DVD-based program: Eucharist: Sacred Meal, Sacrifice and Real Presence. This spiritual study will give you a deeper understand of the precious gift of Christ’s body, blood, soul and divinity that you can receive at each and every Mass.

Please join us on October 3, 10, 17, 24, and 31 from 4:30 to 6 p.m. in Longinus Hall.

Sign up in the back of church on September 11/12 and 18/19 or call the rectory 570-622-5470 or email the rectory (with your name and phone number) at stjbparish@comcast.net by September 20th.
