The Four Pillars of the Sunday Scripture Study:
TEACHING: Read Scripture in light of what the Catholic Church teaches.
COMMUNAL LIFE: Share life together to encourage and support one another in our journey with Christ.
BREAKING OF THE BREAD: Live the cycle of preparation to enter into the Mass, the reception of the Eucharist, and the resulting sacramental transformation from Communion with Christ and communion with others.
PRAYERS: Participate in God’s work of grace and redemption by praying and interceding for one another.
