St. Patrick’s Parish Scripture Study
7pm Thursday, February 1st
Aquinas Hall, St. Patrick Church (280 N Grant Ave, Columbus OH)
I am pleased that over 40 attended our 2nd St. Patrick’s Parish Scripture Study yet again despite the horrific weather. If you missed the first two, don’t worry. You are most welcome to attend the next one, and you are encouraged to invite a friend. (This is a perfect opportunity to evangelize a friend or family member who is open to a Catholic understanding of the Scriptures.)
By popular demand, before we officially begin Scott Hahn’s DVD course, The Bible and the Sacraments: A Journey Through Scripture, in March, we will continue with Doug Ritzenthaler’s three-part introduction:
Part III: An Introduction to the Four Classic Senses of Scripture and the Modern Historical/Critical Method
The meeting will be one hour long, with time for Q&A, and refreshments will be served. Future meetings will be held on the first Thursday of every month.
