Adult Faith Formation

FAITH AND DEVELOPMENT STUDIES
St. Andrew provides a variety of opportunities that allow participants to grow closer to Christ and His Church through the study of Sacred Scripture and a Speaker Series. Some faith activities are weekly study programs that combine individual study and small group discussions along with DVD lectures. Other programs are one-time events designed to enrich our faith and bring us closer to God.

• GENESIS TO JESUS – This 12-part Bible Study series surveys the principal covenants God made with his people through figures such as Adam, Noah, Abraham, Moses, and David. It also shows how each of these covenants points forward to, and is fulfilled by, Jesus Christ and His Church. Learn the basic Catholic principles for reading Scripture and survey the broad outlines of the books of the Bible and their place in the story of salvation. Our weekly Bible Study is held every Tuesday from January 2 through March 19, 2024, at 7:15 p.m. in Nugent Parish Hall. The discussion will wrap up in time to attend Adoration/ Benediction. To purchase the optional book and/or workbook, CLICK HERE.
