Women's Catholic Scripture Study

Belmont, California

Additional Resources for our Study

Our Bible study materials come from Turning to God's Word: www.TurningtoGodsWord.com. On the Turning to God's Word website, there are study pages available for each study where you can see additional commentary for each lesson,  a suggested prayer and you can even ask questions to the authors. There are also videos available for each lesson of some studies. These are very helpful! We hope you will take advantage of these free resources.

Online Bible Study Resources

The New American Bible from the U.S. Bishops' Website
