This two-and-one-half-year course of study consists of eight
courses with each course meeting for eight two-hour classes.
Instructors have at least a Master's degree in Theology. Grounded
in the teaching of the Dogmatic Constitution on Divine Revelation,
Dei Verbum, this program involves adults in a prayerful
relationship with the revealed Word of God and fosters the
development of skills necessary for leadership in ministry.
Similar to programs in other areas of the country, it is hoped such
comprehensive study will lead to personal holiness, as well as
ministry, for religious-education teachers, lectors, RCIA and
Bible-study leaders in this area, to name just some of the
ministries that will benefit.

The Catholic Institute for Biblical Literacy (CIBL) began at St.
Paul parish in the fall of 2005. Over 90 students from St. Paul and
other parishes have had some level of participation in CIBL, with
the first graduating class to finish in the spring of 2008. This is
an exciting opportunity to feed the hunger that has been expressed
for the systematic study of Sacred Scripture at an advanced level.
For anyone interested in beginning this program you may contact
