FOCUS Parish Bible Studies have launched as a new ministry for St. Mary's and St. Joseph's parishioners in the fall of 2025, offering a welcoming space to grow in our Catholic faith and build meaningful relationships with one another. All held in our newly-remodeled John Paul II Bible Study Room within the CCD Center, these studies have options for men, women, and couples. Whether you're new to scripture or seeking deeper understanding, come join us in community as we learn, pray, and grow together in Christ. Information about the specific studies can be found below. Each group will begin with the noted topic ("first study") but will continue with other topics following that.
