Come Early for Sunday's Celebration!

Well over 200 people are pre-registered to attend our Celebration of Sacred Scripture this Sunday, so if you're one of our pre-registered guests, be sure to come in plenty of time to complete the sign-in process before we gather at 1:30 sharp (recommendation: no later than 1:15).

And remember, Daylight Savings starts on Sunday, so don't forget to set your clocks ahead an hour! You won't want to miss the beginning of Fr. Matera's presentation.

Sign-in will be in the main foyer--the area between the Seminary front doors and the chapel. If you come after 1:25, pick up your name tag and proceed directly to the auditorium.

Bibles and Catechisms for Prisoners

If you or someone you know is involved with prisoners or knows of an incarcerated person who would like to receive a Bible or a Catechism of the Catholic Church, here's a way to get those resources to prisoners free of charge:

The Catholic Biblical Association (CBA) provides help to prisoners by providing the New American Bible and the Catechism of the Catholic Church to prisoners who request one or both. CBA also provides them with other books to the extent that such books are available.

If a prisoner would like either a Bible or Catechism or both, he/she would  need to write a letter of request to the following address:
