“Ignorance of scripture is ignorance of Christ.”
-St. Jerome
Guardian Angels offers multiple Bible studies throughout the year to allow us to encounter Christ more fully so we may know Him, love Him, and proclaim Him. See below for the available Bible Study for adults and other resources to immerse yourself in the living Word of God.
Holy Spirit Bible Study (7 Weeks)
For many Christians, the Holy Spirit remains a bit of a mystery. Oftentimes, the emphasis of our personal prayers and reflections on who God is center on the Father and the Son alone. Yet, the Christian faith has always been a Trinitarian faith. For the Holy Spirit is “the Lord, the giver of life, who proceeds from the Father and the Son” as the Nicene Creed reminds us.
Beginning on September 15th, we will begin a seven week Bible study centering on the Holy Spirit. We will be examining how the Holy Spirit is found from the very first verses of Scripture to the very last, from Genesis to the Book of Revelation. Please register with the parish office if you are interested. If you have any specific questions about the study, please contact Tim McCormick at mccormick@bishopfoley.org. All are welcome, even those who have never been a part of a bible study in the past.
Our Fall Bible Study will be on Mondays at 7pm from Sept. 15 to Oct. 27!
To register, please contact the parish office to sign up with your name and email. We will meet in the Fr. Solanus Casey Room. The cost is $10.

The Importance of the Sacred Scriptures
“When I found your words, I devoured them; they became my joy and the happiness of my heart because I bore your name, O Lord, God of Hosts.”
Jeremiah 15:16
“And for this reason, we too give thanks to God unceasingly, that, in receiving the word of God from hearing us, you received not a human word but, as it truly is, the word of God, which is now at work in who you believe.”
1 Thessalonians 2:13
“My son, to my words be attentive, to my sayings incline your ear.”
Proverbs 4:20
“All Scripture is inspired by God and is useful for teaching, for refutation, for correction, and for training in righteousness, so that one who belongs to God may be competent, equipped for every good work.”
2 Timothy 3:16-17
