This fall, Saint Anne will be hosting The Loyola University Institute of Pastoral Studies (IPS) Chicago Catholic Scripture School.  This course provides a transformational encounter with Jesus Christ and formation in Sacred Scripture within a Roman Catholic framework.  Anyone wishing to deepen their understanding of scripture will benefit from this program.
 

Bible Study offers many lasting benefits  

• Apply the Bible to life events 

• Interpret the Bible and its social justice dimensions

• Enrich your personal spiritual and liturgical life

 

Basic Biblical Studies

The first two years focus on biblical study and prayer with the Bible in the Roman Catholic tradition, including a comprehensive study of some major books of the Old and New Testaments.   

Advanced Biblical Studies

The remaining two years delve more deeply into the Old and New Testaments, covering all other books in the Bible.  
 
Study Options
The Chicago Catholic Scripture School offers two options of study:  
Certification Program - participants are required to complete homework and examinations. 
Lecture - The "St. Jerome Lecture Series" is open to those who wish to learn more about scripture but are not interested in pursuing a formal Certificate.  St. Jerome Scholars are expected to read Biblical content, supplemental readings, review homework assignments, be prepared to participate in class discussions, and to attend Scripture School Special Events.  However, they are not required to submit written homework or take tests.
Saint Anne Catholic Community, 120 North Ela Street, Barrington, IL  is hosting Chicago Catholic Scripture School beginning September 11 on Tuesday afternoons from 1:00-3:00 p.m. and evenings from 7:00-9:00 p.m.
