On Thursday, August 25, BJ will be with the people of St. Gabriel parish in Milford to introduce the Catholic approach to the Bible. From 7:00-8:30 pm in the Ministry Center, students who are interested in learning about God's Word can come, meet other folks with similar questions and interests, and find out some of the basics about how Catholics understand the Bible.

Information about the Archdiocesan Catholic Biblical School will be available for anyone interested in pursuing this approved and nationally recognized program of study.
