The mission of the Book Club is to promote good, pertinent spiritual reading for group discussion with the intention of encouraging a deeper, mature Catholic life.  The club meets the third Saturday morning, or a more convenient Saturday, for an hour or so to share our reactions to the current reading and apply it to our daily Catholic lives.

Anyone can suggest readings. Our efforts here are good but just a beginning, and the club could be opened to others, possibly with other parishes.  Current selected readings could help broaden one’s view of one’s Catholic life.  Monthly meeting could be expanded to one evening a month.
