Bible Class

St. Joseph Church offers Bible Classes to the public. Classes will cover Old Testament and New Testament books as well as certain themes in the Bible such as salvation history and Christological typology. All classes are rooted in the teachings of the Catholic Church and help to serve as a way to teach the lay faithful about apologetics. Attendees will get a basic understanding of the Biblical roots of Catholic teachings and how the Bible is--and always was a Catholic Book.

Please see Calendar for dates and times.

Book Club

Our book club is a community dedicated to exploring the church’s teachings through the use of books and DVD’s by Catholic authors such as Matthew Kelly and Dr. Brant Pitre. We strive to create an engaging, respectful space for all members to share and grow in their faith. All are invited to attend the weekly book club meetings. Dates and times will be posted online and, in the bulletin, when scheduled.
