Sacred Heart of Jesus

“Instruct a wise man, and he becomes still wiser; teach a just man, and he advances in learning. The beginning of wisdom is the fear of the LORD, and knowledge of the Holy One is understanding. “
Proverbs 9: 9-10

Adult religious education opportunities take a variety of forms and change from year to year. Special classes, workshops and days of prayer are announced in our Sunday bulletin, The Reporter. This is a good place to look for special offerings. We invite special-topic facilitators who might like to share their particular area of research or interest with other Catholic Christians to call the religious education office. Some classes offered this year include:

R.C.I.A.: Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults
“I have called you by name and you are mine.”
Isaiah 43: 1

Sacred Heart of Jesus Scripture Study Classes

This year, the study begins again with Genesis! Meets Thursdays from 8:15—9:45am in the Parish Center. All are invited. Please call the Parish Center 303-442-6158 for a start date.
