RJ BIBLE STUDY CLUB CREATES A CLOSE COMMUNITY

By Grant Pierce ‘23 and Liam Giardino ‘23

F

on. All pillars play a vital

role in the formation

of students and the

structure of the club,

but the Bible itself is the

key to unlocking what

members can discover.

The Bible itself plays

a major role in Regis

Jesuit High School

and around the world.

Members of the club

take time to understand

the lessons and stories

shared in the sacred

text together. The Bible

is used to help the

members understand

the world around them

and their journeys with

their faith.

“I think no other club

hangs out with each

other outside of the club

more than Bible study,”

senior Sami Mourani

said. “It feels like one

big community like a

family”.

The club forms a

community of friends

who are passionate

to expand their

understanding of the

Bible and their faith.

Official meetings take

place twice a month

during lunch, and

members tell stories

and have conversations

with their brothers

and sisters. The

moderator of the Bible

Study Club, Mr. Evan

Neibur, believes in the

importance of the time

the students spend

together to understand

themselves, each other,

and their faith. The club

invites all Regis Jesuit

High School students

to join the community

they formed.

“It’s the mission of

the school, to form men

and women who are

dedicated to

their faith and

exploring what it

means to be Christian

or Catholic,” Neibur

says. “Religion can be

looked at as the way

you interact with the

world.”

Fully absorbing the

Colorado wilderness,

members were

reminded of God’s

beauty around them.

Just 45 minutes outside

of Denver, they traveled

to the end of the trail.

There, Regis Jesuit High

School’s Bible Study

Club gathered with

just enough time to

admire the sunset. The

members took time to

reflect and share with

the group.

“Personally, it helps

me see the connection

of God within our

community when we

talk about our lives in a

religious perspective,”

Braden Edward ’23

said.

Regis Jesuit High

School’s five pillars

of the Graduate at

Graduation (open to

growth, intellectually

competent, religious,

loving, and committed

to doing justice) not only

serve as pillars students

strive to embody but

also the basis on which

Bible Study Club stands
