We are a group of Catholic women who meet once a week to study the Bible and to learn more about our Catholic faith. We've attempted different approaches through the years, reading through one or more of the gospels one year, focusing on the Blessed Mother and praying the rosary, and studying the Catechism of the Catholic Church as we go along. Our group is never static. Those who cannot attend one week are sure to attend the next. We get new members every week, and some of our old members sometimes take a break during the summer months but return to us at the start of September. We welcome all to join us in acquiring the food for our soul, the Word of God as we journey through life.
We always meet at my farm, La Vivibella, in a small house that sits on two and a half acres. On the farm live four cats, overseers in my absence. A number of chickens belonging to the neighbors roam around, and several horses keep the pasture clipped. My dogs visit when they can. The farm is our retreat, and it is perfect for reading and contemplating the Word of God.
We meet early and share breakfast or brunch, which is always delicious. No one plans what to bring, and we always have leftovers to take home. This year we have decided to read the Bible from the beginning, a daunting task were it not for the scripture studies of Jeff Cavins and the sermons of Father Barron to help us along the way.
