Scripture Initiative

The main goal of our 2009/2010 Scripture Initiative is to lead young people to the understanding that "To know Scripture is to know Christ." We want youth to grow in their knowledge and spiritual life, through personal reading of the Bible and participation in bible studies. One important part of the initiative is to offer opportunities for youth ministers and catechists, both paid and volunteers, to enrich the work they do in Bible studies with youth.

Message from Pope Benedict XVI and the importance of Sacred Scriptures

How can we live the love of God and our brothers without a living and intense contact with the Holy Scriptures? Vatican Council II asserts it is necessary that “easy access to Sacred Scripture should be provided for all the Christian faithful” (Dei Verbum, 22) so that persons, on meeting the truth, may grow in authentic love. This is a requisite that today is indispensable for evangelization…Ongoing efforts to give life to the Biblical movement among lay people should be encouraged, along with the formation of group animators, with particular attention being paid to the young. (XII Ordinary Assembly of the Synod of Bishops, October 26, 2008)
