Book Club

   

 Parishioners gather together to discuss books of interest to Catholic readers. This is a great way to continue forming your intellect and grow in wisdom and knowledge. The books are mixture of fiction & non-fiction. The group meets on Tuesday mornings.  The club will meet on the following days upstairs in the Johnson Center. For more information please reach out to Patti.
