Bible & Book Studies

Beginners to seasoned scripture scholars are welcome to join our St. Max Bible Studies. These groups meet weekly to read, study, and discuss the Bible via study guides and DVD programs. Each group is autonomous and studies different aspects of the Bible. Most studies begin in the fall and continue through the spring but you are welcome to join at any time. Interested? Contact Cathy Casto at (913) 488-2625 or ScriptureStudy@saint-max.org

Our parish is a firm believer in the opportunity to nurture one’s formation through fruitful discussions over a good book study. This is a time to build community, do some faith-sharing, and grow in fellowship. Meeting schedules vary, most sessions start in the fall, and open to everyone age 18 and older. Whether joining a specific book club, video series, or a small group, whichever sounds like a good fit for you, please reach out to Holly Moran at hmoran@saint-max.org with any questions or for more details.

"Many Catholics want to read the Bible because they know it is God’s Word, but they give up because it seems so complicated. Unlocking the Mystery of the Bible helps you get the “big picture” by showing how fourteen narrative books of the Bible tell the complete story from Adam and Eve to Christ and the Church. Unlocking the Mystery of the Bible will help you discover the story of salvation history and understand how you fit into God’s plan."

"God wants to reveal Himself to you and talk to you about all aspects of your life. He needs us in the Bible. Not only will you discover who God is when you start reading the Bible, but who you are.” - Jeff Cavins
