St. LOUIS BIBLE STUDY has moved to Walsh Hall. We will continue to meet on Wednesdays at 7:30 PM, for about an hour per meeting. We are now reading through the Book of Numbers as we continue our goal of READING THROUGH THE WHOLE OF THE HOLY BIBLE. Bring any version of the Bible you like (the Revised Standard Version or Catholic Edition is suggested). Father Carrier provides maps, outlines, points-to-consider, and commentary. If you’ve wanted to read the Bible all the way through and just needed that extra nudge, or if you simply like to join in fellowship, come join us!
