“In 1970 Pope Paul VI said, ‘The Holy task of spreading God’s Word to the widest possible readership has a special urgency today’. All the more in our day and age should we return to God’s Word, be inspired, receive comfort, and discover how to walk in Discipleship. May the work of The Cornerstone flourish!”

Bishop Edward Rice of the Diocese of Springfield – Cape Girardeau, MO.

“The Cornerstone Catholic Scripture Study is a group of faith-filled men and women hungry for the Word of God. I was honored to present an introduction to the Old Testament Prophets at their annual conference in 2023. The Cornerstone is entering its fortieth year, and their enthusiasm for God’s Word is infectious! For anyone looking for an in-depth, in-person (with Zoom option) Catholic Scripture study, The Cornerstone is an excellent choice.”

Dr. Mary Healy is professor of Scripture at Sacred Heart Major Seminary in Detroit and a bestselling author and international speaker.

“I have worked with Cornerstone for many years in the Imprimatur process. Our reviewers – themselves expert theologians and teachers – have found the studies to be unfailingly faithful to Church teaching, well-informed by solid scholarship, skillful in teaching, and deeply engaging on a spiritual level. In our experience the Cornerstone studies have, again and again, show themselves to bring together the best of all worlds for Scripture studies.”

“For Catholics wanting to learn more about the bible, the best place to go is The Cornerstone. They have plenty of resources to break open God’s Word and to relate Scripture to one’s daily life – whether for beginners with little knowledge or for more experienced readers of the bible.”

“The Catechism of the Catholic Church says that the Church ‘exhorts all the Christian faithful to learn the surpassing knowledge of Jesus Christ by frequent reading of the divine Scriptures’ (#133). The Cornerstone Catholic Scripture Study is a faithful response to this call. Cornerstone can help anyone to understand and enjoy the Bible and to apply its teachings to everyday life. Those who participate in Cornerstone will feel welcome and will experience the love of Christ in His Word and in the company of other believers. I heartily recommend The Cornerstone to all Catholics and to members of other faiths.”

Testimonials

“Cornerstone has given life and meaning to scriptures I have been hearing and reading my entire life. Cornerstone has introduced me to the authors of scripture as living breathing people who have undergone trials and tribulations just as I have. They have reinforced the notion that God is in control of the universe and all that is in it. I have seen how they have persevered and that I will persevere if I have faith and trust in God.”

Barb B, St. Gerard-MN Branch, member since 2013

“For me, Cornerstone offers the unique blend of the history of our faith, the sharing of our beliefs and the benefits of belonging to a community that is filled with love, compassion and understanding. No other Bible study has offered this powerful combination. “

“I’m a six year participant in Cornerstone Scripture Study and each fall I can’t wait for the next session to start. The study questions draw out the meaning of each lesson and as we discuss them in class the input from members adds more depth to my understanding of the Bible. Becoming a member of Cornerstone Scripture Study group is the best gift I’ve given myself in years!”
