Adult Bible Class -- The Revelation of St. John

          In love and in mercy for his Church, Jesus Christ revealed through the blessed Apostle what his Church can expect until his return.  The Holy Spirit gave us many images to give us warnings and encouragement as we await the return of our Lord at the final judgment.  What does our Lord want us to know through these images which are both amazing and confusing?  That is what our study will be this fall.
