Gospel Workbooks and Bible Quiz Competition
Distribution of Gospel Workbooks
To help our community remain together in the Word of the Lord and deepen our faith, we plan to distribute Gospel workbooks as follows:
- Advent 2025: Matthew Gospel Workbook
- Lent 2026: Mark Gospel Workbook
- Advent 2026: Luke Gospel Workbook
- Lent 2027: John Gospel Workbook
During Advent and Lent, you are encouraged to read the Gospel with your families at home and work through the workbook together.
Bible Quiz Competition
To share the fruits of our study of Scripture, we are preparing two Bible quiz competitions.
- Easter Season 2026 Bible Quiz (on the Gospel of Matthew and the Gospel of Mark)
- Participation: Families or parish groups may form teams
- Easter Season 2027 Bible Quiz (on the Gospel of Luke and the Gospel of John).
We hope these studies create "a small church of the Word" in your home, fostering unity and spiritual maturity as our parish joyfully engages in the Scripture study and quiz competitions.
