    • Bible Study

      Popes since John XXIII have been advocates for Catholics to read the Bible for study and personal spiritual enrichment. Our collaborative offers Bible studies to foster deeper understanding of sacred scripture. People participate in a Bible study for many different reasons. Some of the ways attendees have told us they find these studies helpful:

      • Learning what the Bible is, where it came from, and what it means in the Catholic context
      • Encourages personal reading of the Bible for prayer and study
      • Helps apply faith to everyday life
      • Better understanding of scriptures when hearing them proclaimed at Mass
      • Feeling a closer relationship to God. 
      • Enhanced confidence when speaking to other people about the source of their faith.
       
    • Becoming Catholic 

      The Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults (RCIA)
      For many people interested in getting baptised as a Catholic or entering into full communion with the Catholic Church through Confirmation (already baptised in another Christian denomination), the process can be somewhat confusing or intimidating.  After all, this is a major step in one’s life.  The decision to join the Church is exciting and will lead to a deepening of personal faith and relationship to God, others, and self. No matter what has brought you here, the fact that you are interested in taking the next step shows your openness to God and God’s call in your life.  Many people have come through the RCIA program and are living lives of service, faith, and love. Perhaps you are asking where to begin the journey.  The answer is that you have already begun! Your next step is to talk with our RCIA Coordinator, Trina, to discuss details for your paticular journey. A great and recommend place to begin your journey is the Alpha Course. This is a safe and friendly environment to explore the Christian faith, ask questions and meet others. Contact Trina for additional information or questions, trinat@avcatholic.org
