Scripture & Faith Sharing Groups

Adults of all ages are invited to be part of our scripture and faith sharing groups here at St. Boniface! For more information, see the contact person listed below for each group or contact Faye Akers in the Evangelization & Formation Office. 

Tuesdays

Scripture Study Group. This group gathers during the fall, winter and spring months from 10:00-11:30am in the Mary & Joseph Room. We pray, study and discuss a variety of topics from Scripture and Catholic teaching. The group determines upcoming study topics and the number of sessions for each topic. After prayer, we typically watch a video presentation together, then break into smaller groups for discussion. The cost for materials is the responsibility of participants, but scholarships are always available. For more information, contact Mary Jo Pucelik at mryjo67@gmail.com.

Women's Book Club. This group meets once a month on Tuesdays from 7:00-8:00pm in the Mother Teresa Room. The next two meetings are June 21(The People We Meet on Vacation by Emily Henry) and July 19 (The Great Alone, by Kristin Hannah). All ladies are welcome... bring a friend and a drink or snack to share! No registration required. For more information or to hear about future dates and books, contact Susan Nass at smnass@yahoo.com.
 

Wednesdays

Study & Prayer Group. This group gathers twice a month from 6:00-8:00pm. Scheduled dates are: August 10 and 24; September 7 and 21; October 19; November 2, 16, and 30; December 14. During the school year the group meets in the sacristy (a room off the gathering space). During the summer months this group meets in the Romero Room. Each participant brings his or her own Bible. Sessions begin with prayer and reading of Scripture. We typically focus on particular book of the Bible for a period of time. Discussions may include how the Old Testament and New Testament relate to each other and how to include Scripture in daily life. For more information, contact Lynn Boes at nsatty56@hotmail.com. 

Thursdays

Men of Boniface. This group gathers year round from 6:30-8:00am in the Mary & Joseph Room. We drink coffee, pray together, share our faith stories, as well as study and discuss Scripture and Mass readings. For more details, click here or contact Jeff Tomlinson at jtbwcaw@aol.com or (515) 321-6993.

Sunday Readings Group. This group gathers year round from 1:30-3:30pm in the Mary & Joseph Room to pray, study and discuss the Mass readings for the upcoming Sunday. We use At Home with Word, which offers a deeper understanding of the Sunday Scriptures, provides the readings for the liturgical year, insights from Scripture scholars, and suggests action steps. Copies are provided for all participants. For more information, contact Muriel Nizzi at 515-987-4004 or Eloise Hilgenberg at (515) 978-4884.
