Book Discussion Group

An adult Book Discussion Group was organized in March 2002 to reinforce our commitment to books. The goal is to connect readers with books and authors. The group meets on the 3rd Wednesday of the month at 1:30 pm in the Parish Library. Everyone is welcome to join the group on a regular basis or as time allows.

Each month's selection is announced in the weekly bulletin and in the monthly Epistle. Group members take turns making selections and leading the discussion.
