Saint Mary Women's Catholic Scripture Study began in 2003 with an enthusiastic group of women committed to nourishing a deeper love for Christ and for His Church. Catholic Scripture Study (CSS)is a doctrinal based Roman Catholic Scripture Group Study Program divided into five one-year studies.  CSS, written by Sister Marie Therese has been enriching lives and strengthening the faith of lay Catholics through a comprehensive study of Holy Scripture. Saint Mary will begin their 6th year on Monday September 28th with 7 sessions on "Introduction to the Bible" through "Little Rock Scripture Study".  Open to newcomers and experienced Bible students alike. Participants will become comfortable finding their way around the Bible, develop a better understanding of its themes and writing styles, and gain clear insights about Catholic use and interpretation of the Bible.
Classes will begin on Monday September 28th at 8:45am - 10:15am and 7:00pm - 8:30pm in Saint Frances Center Common Room, Saint Mary Parish Gilroy.
