The Centre
The Centre for Catholic Bible Studies presents speakers of note and in good standing with the Church. The Centre was formed in 2014 to continue the Catholic Bible Seminar series, initiated by the Centre of Jesus and Mary in 1996 under the personal blessing of former Archbishop Adam Exner.
The Catholic Bible Seminar is the core activity organized and held by The Centre of Catholic Bible Studies.
