they will become a pari of th*>
siudwis' hearts."
Th«> Bible study should be
beneficial, particularly for
Catholic students who have
stopped attending mass, he (aid.
“One of the problems that I
see with Catholic students is
that they have u tendency not to
attend Mass," lie said. “Many of
them are away from home for
the first time. The parental influ
ence that they might have had is
no longer there to make them go
to moss
"As a result, many of them fall
lietween the cracks."
The style of Catholic worship
often becomes a means for
Catholic students to not want to
be fully involved in mass ser
vices. Vajda said.
“Much of the worship that
takes place during a Catholic
Mass is based on traditionalism
and symbolism," he said. "The
problem with this format is that
people have a tendency not to be
personally involved during
mass Many times they just
repeat the words of the prayers
for the various sat raments such
as the Holy Eucharist, baptism,
confirmation anti penance "
Vapid also said the Bible
study will allow Catholic stu
dents to have an opportunity to
become more involved.
"One of the goals of this Bible
study program is to get Catholic
students interested in attend'
ing,” ho said. “One of the things
that tiie Catholic Church is noto
rious fur is the fad that Catholic
kids are internalized but not
evangelized
"What that means is that
Catholic kids are taught how to
say the words of the different
prayers used in the sacraments,
hut they are never taught about
having a personal relationship
with the Savior."
Another reason why Catholic
students tend to become disas
sociated with chutdi is ixx ause
they don't always make an effort
to find a lot al pariah, Vania said
"A lot of Catholic students
who ure new to the area don't
want to try and find out where
a local parish is located,” he
said “This i nn lx* attributed to
the influence of their friends
Tins ran also attributed lie a lark
of effort on the part of these stu
dents.”
Vadja hopes the Bible study
will encourage these students to
have a desire to find a parish
where they can attend mass ser
vices
The Bible study on ear li Tues
day is for all Catholic: students
The main focus is to help Uni
versity Catholic students have a
positive Sunday mass experi
ence.
