About Our Bible Study Family
Welcome to the Our Lady of Lourdes (OLOL) Bible Study Family!
We are a friendly ministry within our parish, dedicated to deepening Catholic faith formation and building strong spiritual foundations across our community. As a not-for-profit ministry, our mission is to create quality educational resources and offer a welcoming space for everyone to grow in their understanding of Scripture.
Whether you are looking to enrich your faith or connect with fellow parishioners, we invite you to join us on this journey.
A message from our founder
Welcome to our OLOL Bible Study family!
When we first envisioned this ministry, our goal was simple: to create a warm, accessible space where everyone in our parish community could come together, explore Sacred Scripture, and grow deeper in our Catholic faith.
Whether you are picking up the Bible for the first time or looking to enrich a lifelong journey of faith, you are welcome here. Together, we unpack the rich history and practical wisdom of Scripture in a relaxed, friendly environment where every question is valued and every voice is heard.
I invite you to join us at one of our upcoming gatherings—whether on Tuesday mornings or Wednesday evenings. Come as you are, bring your curiosity, and let us walk together in faith and fellowship.
God bless,
Elmer Guerra
Study Coordinator

Frequently Asked Questions
Not at all! Our Bible study is open to everyone, whether you are picking up Sacred Scripture for the very first time or have been reading it for years. All you need to bring is an open heart and a desire to learn. We provide guided study materials and resources for each session. If you have your own Bible, feel free to bring it along.
You are welcome to attend whichever time best fits your weekly schedule—either our Tuesday morning session (9:30 AM – 11:00 AM) or our Wednesday evening session (6:30 PM – 8:00 PM). Both sessions cover the same reflection material each week. Advance registration is not required; you can simply walk in and join us!
No. As a non-profit parish ministry, our gatherings and educational resources are completely free of charge. Our mission is to make Catholic faith formation accessible to all. While there is no fee to participate, voluntary donations are always welcome to help support and continue our ministry.
