Every Tuesday, starting January 20 through March 24, 1:30-3:00 pm, there will be a bible study on the Gospel of Matthew, using the Navarre Bible Commentary, presented by Father Thomas Smith in the Bishop’s Common Room, second floor of Holy Cross Diocesan Center. Everyone is welcome to attend and may call 781-1779 to register or request additional information. This bible study is sponsored by the La Crosse Deanery Council of Catholic Women.

Learn how to live a Christian life in the midst of a pagan culture. Paul’s first letter to the Corinthians was his instruction to them for that serious problem, and it can be our instruction for living in today’s paganized culture. Join us on an eleven-week bible study covering First Corinthians: The Church and the Christian Community on Wednesday evenings starting January 21 from 7:00 to 8:00 pm, or Thursday afternoons starting January 22 from 1:00 to 2:30 pm. A video series from Ascension Press will be used.
