LITTLE ROCK SCRIPTURE STUDY
Little Rock Scripture Study will now take place on Tuesday evening. This semester, we
are studying the “Spirituality of the Gospels.” This is a new study which we are doing for the first time.
The four gospels of the New Testament provide a rich multi-dimensional portrait of Jesus Christ. Each
also maps out a unique spiritual path into life with Him. In “Spirituality of the Gospels”, the modern
quest for spiritual fulfillment is met with profound insights from the gospels and the enduring examples
from the lives of the saints it has inspired, both the ancient and contemporary. The study began Tuesday,
October 18th at 7:15 pm in the Lannon Chapel. The cost is $21.00, which includes a commentary, study
guide and DVD presentation of the study. New members are always welcome. To register, you may call
the Parish Office , 617-552-6102. If you have any questions, please call John Dafarra 781-899-9540.
