The SBC community celebrates the life and teachings of Jesus Christ and the Church as a community of believers by hosting a assembly every week targeting Jesus prayer and the catholic church and we also have R.E classes that explain and help us understand what the bible is trying to tell us.
At SBC we use lots of different resources to help us understand and improve our knowledge of what we already know about being a catholic. Some of the different resources include: Youth Bible, Online Websites/Tools, Assignments, Reflections, Prayers, Books, Excursions and simply talking about it.
