Is “Bible Christianity” Biblical?
By Fr. Jerome Cudden, O.P.
Today it is popular to
hear “Bible” Christians (aka non-denominational and “born again”) claim the
Bible is the sole basis of the Christian faith and that Catholicism professes
non-Biblical teachings. But what insights do history and the Bible gives
us regarding these topics? By analyzing the history of the Christian faith
and
doctrines that are central
to it, Fr. Jerome will help us to understand what Bible Christianity is and
what it is not. Fr. Jerome will present his talk on Monday, May 21st
at 9:00 a.m. and again at 7:30 p.m. in the adult education building, which is located
directly behind the Church.
Book Fair
Our buy one get one free Book
Fair starts Tuesday, May 29 and end Thursday, May 31.
You can buy a book and get
one free at the same price as the first book.
Buy your books for summer
reading! Avid readers, this is the time to stock your library.
The book fair will take place
in the school library.
Food for Family Thought
One task of parents is to
help their children develop the skills of discernment—that is to make wise
choices. This is better taught through example and by establishing wise limits
than by coercion and criticism.
If you could have one hundred
of anything right now, what would you choose?
