On December 8 we will observe the 60th anniversary of the closing of the Second Vatican Council. Could that council held back in the 60’s possibly have any meaning or relevance for us today? 

 

This fall, St. Patrick’s Thursday Morning Scripture Group, led by parishioner Susan Carlson, will examine several documents produced by Vatican II, focusing on the Council’s teaching about the Church and divine revelation. The study of the Council documents known as Lumen Gentium – “Light of the Nations” – and Dei Verbum – the “Word of God” – can lead us to new insights about our lives as followers of Jesus and help us to understand that we are part of the sacred story of the Bible, an understanding that in turn can profoundly affect how we read Scripture.

 

The Thursday Morning Scripture Group’s 8-week fall session will begin on October 2 and end on November 20. We meet from 9:30 until 11:00 a.m. each Thursday in the O’Gara Parish Center. There is no fee to participate in the fall session. The group is friendly and its approach to study is to combine prayer, reflection, and small group discussion.
