Bible In A Year

Starting January 1, 2026

Immacolata’s Bible In A Year

During the 2026 calendar year, we’d like as many parishioners as possible to join us in reading and praying through the entire Bible, guided by the Hallow App and the popular podcast by Fr. Mike Schmitz.

In 365 days, you will not only get to read the entire Catholic Bible, cover to cover, but you’ll actually understand how it all fits together and pray through the whole thing. Bible in a Year only takes about 20 to 25 minutes a day, and it is perfect for your commute to work, your afternoon walk, or while you're doing dishes at night.

You can access the podcast and follow along for free, or choose to subscribe to a Hallow membership for even more Catholic content.

Sign Up with Us and with Hallow

Register with us, partner with a friend or small group (parishioner or not!) to journey together, and join us at the parish for monthly meetings to share the fruits of the experience and grow in love of Scripture together.
