Adult Education News
ADULT VACATION BIBLE SCHOOL
Twenty -five adults participated in the 10th annual Adult Vacation Bible School, “God Will Provide The Lamb” from July 21-24 in the Parish Center. Participants were steeped in Jewish tradition and Catholic teaching to explain what Jesus did at the Last Supper. Thanks to all who participated.

RCIARCIA
One of the most daunting challenges for our Church and our parish is to properly form new inquirers into our Catholic Faith. Our RCIA program begins on September 8. If you know of anyone who is considering exploring the Catholic Church, have him or her contact Tom Abbott at (410) 239-8881 or email: thomasp1050@yahoo.com.

FALL PROGRAMS
Fall ProgramsAdult Education will feature many exciting programs this coming Fall. Among these are St. Bartholomew Scripture Study beginning September 24. We will study the Book of Genesis. Fundamentals of Catholicism this year will deal with “God’s Providence and the Mystery of Evil”. Fundamentals meets on Tuesdays and will begin October 7. Coffee and the Catechism has the distinction of being our only year round program. It meets every Thursday morning from 10:00-11:30 am. TTIP (Third Thursday In Perpetuity) is a continuation of our Learn Your Faith, Live Your Faith program discussing Catholic current events and exploring the faith in depth.

Traditional Latin MassLEARNING THE TRADITIONAL LATIN MASS
A special program this Fall will explain the meaning, origin and theology of the Extraordinary Form of the Roman Rite – the Latin or Tridentine Mass. Great as a refresher for pre-Vatican II Catholics as we as a good introduction to this Mass, called, “The most beautiful thing this side of Heaven”. Meets September 9, 16 and 23rd.
