Most parishes offer bible study now.
Not my church, I wish they did then I'd actually attend. My sister decided to leave the church and study buddhism. I wish she'd go back but she clearly said to me she has no interest. She's much happier as a buddhist and not half as nasty. I used to go to a real fundy church where they had three hour services. The only catholic equivalent I liked was charismatic mass where they did bible study.
Perhaps your teachers never pointed you to the source for "faith statements" such as the creeds and the Sign of the Cross:
This synthesis of faith was not made to accord with human opinions, but rather what was of the greatest importance was gathered from all the Scriptures, to present the one teaching of the faith in its entirety. And just as the mustard seed contains a great number of branches in a tiny grain, so too this summary of faith encompassed in a few words the whole knowledge of the true religion contained in the Old and the New Testaments.

Or perhaps you were like me as a child, a somewhat indifferent student.
