Join us for a Lay Augustinian journey through the great love story of salvation history. Guided by St. Augustine’s insight that “the New Testament lies hidden in the Old, and the Old is revealed in the New,” we will explore the covenants of God from Adam to Christ and discover how Scripture captures the restless heart of our Catholic faith.

The new 12-week group study program will be hosted every Wednesday evening at 7:30 PM EST via ZOOM, beginning on September 24, 2025.

(Please note that the Zoom link will be the same from week to week, so you only need to register once to have access to all the sessions.)
