Senior Bible Study

“Ignorance of scripture is ignorance of Christ.” – St. Jerome

As Catholics, we encounter a great deal of scripture. Each Sunday, four pieces of Scripture are proclaimed (including the Responsorial Psalm) and the Eucharistic prayer is chock full of Scripture as well. Sometimes these words wash over us, and it is easy to take the stories, messages, and insights for granted. At the Seniors Bible Study, HNOJers 55+ years old gather to talk about the upcoming Scripture and to reflect on what it means for our daily faith lives.

All seniors are welcome, and no registration is necessary. Just check the schedule below, and attend when you can.

Basic Information:

  • When: Mondays from 10-11:30 am
  • Where: Holy Name of Jesus
  • Who: Any and all seniors 55 years old and older
  • Preparation: No prep work needed for this Bible Study
  • Cost: Free!
  • Registration: None needed
