Audio Lectures

Attending lecture series is important because there is more than just the auditory part of a presentation that delivers the message. However, there are times when we cannot make an event at another parish but would benefit from the learning experience. Some of the best presentations our archdiocese has to offer will be placed here for you to download to your computer or MP3 device. Return frequently as material will be added regularly.

Websites

In addition to learning more about scripture via the internet, also take advantage of the excellent resource we have in our archdiocese for learning through the Biblical Studies program, FTCM, parish speakers, and higher education through the University of St. Thomas at St. Mary Seminary. Finding good balanced material on the internet is a challenge since authors show only their perspective on a subject. We desire to show a balanced approach to scripture study, so have offered a wide variety of on-line resources in an attempt to achieve that goal. Be aware that much of the material presented will be from the point of view of the editor creating the web site.
