About this study

The parish

This is a twelve-week men's RCIA study — The Bible and the Virgin Mary — at Saint Elizabeth of Hungary Parish in Raeford, NC. It is built for brotherhood, accountability, and standing firm in the truth, around three pillars: Warrior, Protector, and Disciple.

How to use this site

1. Pre-watch the video at home. Each session pairs with a ~25-minute lesson on Formed.org (free through the parish, login required). The hour together is for discussion, not the screen.
2. Open the session page. It carries the overview, your pre-watch orders, the discussion questions, and a real-world scenario — plus a sidebar with the memory verse, a reference matrix (Scripture + Catechism links), and the Formed link.
3. Bring your workbook and your Bible. Scripture is referenced and linked here, not reproduced — we quote RSV-2CE and recommend the Great Adventure Catholic Bible.
4. Track your progress. Mark a session complete on its page; it's saved on your device.
