The purpose of Catholic Scripture Study, Inc. (CSS) is to "Grow in grace and in knowledge of our Lord and Savior JESUS CHRIST. To HIM be the glory both now and evermore! Amen" (II Peter 3:18). This purpose is achieved by following a plan of scheduled weekly Bible study meetings held nine months of the year in the Catholic community. Each meeting consists of distribution of a home study lesson with readings and questions, discussion of the lesson received the previous week and a presentation on that lesson by the teaching leader. CSS has the teachings of the Catholic Church as its foundation and is open to all people who have an interest in Scripture and the Catholic Church. CSS fosters growth and maturity in the participants' faith and prayer life under the guidance of the Holy Spirit and returns them to their parish with a closer relationship with God. Members are encouraged to use this growth to teach others about the Catholic faith and about living the word of God. CSS is consecrated to the Immaculate Heart of Mary with deep affection.
