​GOF 2020-2021
Living the Good News: How Reading the Bible as a Church Guides our Journey of Faith

Our curriculum runs on a 6-year cycle covering the Liturgical Year, Scripture, Sacraments, Prayer and Spirituality, Creed, and Justice and Moral Living. While these themes are woven into each year, they get their own in-depth look once every six years.

This year our curricular focus is Scripture.


We are super jazzed about our 2020-2021 GOF theme: Living the Good News: How Reading the Bible as a Church Guides our Journey of Faith. Get ready to build your biblical knowledge: You'll master the Bible "blueprint" as you deepen your understanding of the content, structure and organization  of the Bible ... and build confidence in navigating its pages. You can also expect to learn all about the Church's Bible reading plan, also known as the lectionary. How much of the Bible would you hear if you went to Mass every Sunday for three years? Would you make it through the whole Bible if you went to Mass every day? What's the history and logic behind the lectionary - the schedule of Bible readings proclaimed at Mass? Are Catholics the only Christians who follow a lectionary?  You'll learn all this and more! Finally, you'll discover how reading the Bible as a Church guides our journey of faith. Our most basic Christian beliefs and sacraments flow from our sacred scriptures. This year, prepare to take the plunge! We'll dive into our sacred scriptures as we learn, grow and live in faith together.
