Join us for our study of Paul’s Letters to Timothy and Titus, his Pastoral Epistles.

We will explore Paul’s positions on love, morality, treatment of sinners, and some

surprising opinions concerning women and conduct in the Church. He gives

excellent advice to the Churches in their struggles with the Judaizers and heretics

of his times on how to combat their negative effects on new, early Christian

communities. As in our previous studies, there will be extensive referencing of the

Catechism of the Catholic Church as well as the writings of Doctors of the Church

and Early Church Fathers.

 

In addition to our regular Wednesday and Thursday Zoom meetings, we will also

continue the in-person session, Friday at noon. To summarize, we will meet via

Zoom at 7 pm Wednesday evenings, Thursday at Noon and Friday, in person in

room 5, for 6 sessions beginning September 3/4/5 ending October 15/16/17. If you

plan to attend, please contact Rick Halsted at rhalsted@frontiernet.net or leave

word at the parish office, 334-3518 to receive Zoom information for the on-line

sessions as well as weekly study materials. As the primary text, we will be using

the Ignatius Catholic Study Bible booklet, “The Letters of St Paul to the

Thessalonians, Timothy and Titus.” It is available through Ignatius.com and

Amazon.com
