Discover the Story of Salvation: “Genesis to Jesus” Bible Study at Holy Family

Maria Hayes • July 16, 2025

Want to understand the Bible as one unified story of God’s love?

Join us this fall for “Genesis to Jesus”—a 12-week Catholic Bible study hosted by parishioners from the Holy Family Genesis to Jesus Men’s Prayer Group. This accessible and inspiring study helps you see the big picture of Scripture through the lens of Catholic teaching and salvation history.


What You’ll Learn

“Genesis to Jesus” explores the five key covenants God made with His people—through Adam, Noah, Abraham, Moses, and David—and shows how each one points forward to its fulfillment in Jesus Christ, the New Covenant. You’ll walk away with:

  • A deeper understanding of how and why to read the Bible
  • A clear view of the story of salvation from Genesis to the Gospels
  • Tools to study Scripture through the heart of the Church

Whether you’re new to Bible study or want to deepen your faith, this series will help you unlock the richness of God’s Word.

Parishioner Doris Wilson Passes Away

Doris adored being Mom, Grandma, and Gigi to her beloved children, grandchildren, and great-grandsons. We loved her more than anything and will miss her so much. She enjoyed making our favorite foods (including her chicken salad, fresh tomatoes with cottage cheese, mouse sandwiches, curly noodles, chili, fruit faces, sunshine salad, meringue pie with “syrup,” and chocolate pudding pie), sewing (especially our Halloween costumes), throwing helicopter seeds, seeing our performances and games, watching the UK Wildcats play, and spending time with her family. Providence alumni may remember her smiling face and helping hand behind the desk in the front office, where she served as secretary for many years. She was a member of Holy Family Catholic Church. Visitation will be held from 2:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. on February 3, 2026 at Newcomer Cremations, Funerals & Receptions (3309 Ballard Lane, New Albany, IN 47150).
