The Assisi Scripture Study program was founded in 2003 by Rich Zemonek, MPS and Deacon Pat McIlmoyle (Our Lady of the Rosary, Louisburg). Rich and Pat were passionate about the need for quality bible study true to Catholic biblical teachings, practical and applicable to everyday life and reflected Franciscan charism and spirituality. The courses cater to all levels of understanding, those new to scripture study to a more advanced understanding. The study currently utilizes two Catholic biblical study programs from Ascension Press and Little Rock Scripture Study (newly updated materials).

Scripture study courses offered throughout the year both during the day and in the evening by knowledgeable facilitators trained to make the study meaningful, informative, non-stressful and enjoyable. Courses typically range from 5 to 15 weeks, give or take, once a week for an hour and a half. Participants can either attend in-person at St. Francis or online via Zoom.

Registration completed through Realm. Individuals purchase their own materials through Amazon or directly through Liturgical Press.
