The Chosen is a spectacular, faith-based, multi-season television series based on the life and teachings of Jesus Christ and focused on unifying people of different faiths and backgrounds. The disciples who Jesus chose, tell us about their interactions with Him in a beautiful and believably way; through their eyes and how they were so greatly impacted.
St. Joseph’s will be hosting these bible studies at the Parish Center accompanied with a light meal. We will watch one episode of Season 2 each week, followed by a fruitful discussion. What makes The Chosen even more exciting is our very own parishioner Dwight Ettel is an extra in Season 3 - Feeding of the 5000 (see picture below)! Dwight will lead the bible studies for this very awe-inspiring, moving portrayal of the life of Jesus. An associated study guide will also be used to foster fruitful discussions.
