John Paul II Study Group meets weekly to read and discuss a variety of religious topics for spiritual growth. They may study church history, The Catholic Catechism, the papal encyclicals, or books by current authors. They use various media including videos, books, and audio tapes. After a guest speaker gave a talk about "Herbs in the Bible," the speaker was invited back to speak on "Cooking with Biblical Herbs."
Opera Just for Fun includes presentations of rare opera pieces with accompanying commentary by a man of extraordinary first-hand knowledge and experience with opera because his family owned an opera company. Another expert on opera from Washington, D.C., also comes for periodic presentations that may include a video presentation. A recent talk was on "Opera Pieces in Movies."
Classes in music appreciation or history of music are held periodically as interest is generated and instructors are available.
