Welcome to Year 2 of Bible Study at the Cathedral!
Classes are held on Mondays at 7:00 p.m. via ZOOM. A ZOOM link will be sent to registered students.
On this page you will find the syllabus, class notes, and other supplemental material. Return frequently to find updates.
We will continue to use the Little Rock Study Bible, although any Catholic Bible is fine.
We will use Come and See: David and the Psalms for the first part of the year, and then return to Come and See: The Rise and Fall of Ancient Israel.
Please keep your Catechism of the Catholic Church in your study area.
