Do you want a better understanding of our faith, and a deeper relationship with God? Join us for The Bible Timeline Study.

The Bible Timeline is a Catholic Bible study by Jeff Cavins that takes you on a journey through the entire Bible and brings you deep into each period of salvation history, so that you can discover the amazing story woven throughout all of Scripture. Learn the larger context of what was going on in the Jewish faith and how the Jews understood events at that time. Find out what was going on in the world for each period of salvation history. The Bible Timeline has helped thousands of people to understand the Bible and deepen their relationship with Christ,

This come-when-you-can study of the Bible begins this May 29th in the St. Frances Cabrini Parish Center Living Room at 7:00 PM for 12 Tuesdays. No homework. No cost.

Come join us during Lent for Taize Prayer Around the Cross 6:45 PM – 7:30 PM in the church. Wednesday, March 20; Wednesday, March 27; Monday, April 1, Monday, April 8.

We’ll sing simple chants throughout the service (such as “Jesus, Remember Me”) and have a short reading from scripture followed by moments of silent reflection. There’s a period for your intercessory prayers after which we’ll pray the Our Father.
