Knights Small Group Meeting - January 26
The Knights Small Group meetings are held on every Wednesday at 6:30 pm (to 8:30 pm). The next meeting will be on January 26 and will be in the Mother Teresa room. We are only offering these meetings to Knights and not their significant others and to meet in person versus using Zoom.
We will begin our small group meetings with a study of The Bible and the Virgin Mary. This is a dynamic 12-part video series that beautifully explains the Catholic truths about Our Lady, showing how she has been a part of God‘s plan to bring salvation to the world since the beginning of time.
In addition to an explanation of dogmas, answers to common objections, and demonstration of Mary’s presence in the Old and New Testament, this study discusses church approved Marion apparitions that play an important role in Catholic tradition. It’s sure to help Catholics and non-Catholics grow in an understanding and appreciation of the Mother of God. It’s grounded in history, yet actively engages topics faced by today’s Catholics. More than just an ordinary Bible study, it’s biblical catechesis.
