What is the Bible, where does it come from, and what is its purpose? How are Catholics supposed to read the Bible, and what story does it tell?

This study will explore these ever important questions and provide us with answers to better understand and incorporate the Sacred Scriptures into our everyday lives.

All are welcome to join this 12-week study beginning Thursday February 5th at 1:00 PM at Peter's Table at Mount Saint Peter.

The evening will focus on Preparing Our Hearts for Lent. As the penitential season approaches, take a moment to consider how God is calling you to spend time with him.

Join us for an uplifting evening of prayer, quiet reflection, and adoration as we ready our hearts for this sacred season.

Come let this evening refresh and inspire you.

All are welcomed.

Join parishioners from across our region as we enter into the mystery of Christ’s passion. We will walk step by step with Jesus from the Garden of Gethsemane to Mount Calvary.

Every step of the way, Old Testament prophecies, messianic expectations, biblical symbolism, and historical context shed light on the myster of Christ’s suffering and death.

Experience a deeper understanding and appreciation of God’s immeasurable and unconditional love for you - and grow closer to Jesus.

Bishop Michael Burbidge, from Arlington, VA, sums up Project Rachel’s  mission and purpose by informing us, “Diocesan-based abortion healing ministry, most often called Project Rachel Ministry, seeks to accompany those who suffer from abortion as they receive Christ’s mercy, comfort , and healing.

Project Rachel Ministry serves as a bridge to God’s mercy, helping him to make participants whole and restoring his relationship with them as his beloved daughters and sons.”
