The purpose of the Parish Book Club is to build community through the shared experience of great stories – and we do just that each month starting with a social hour at 6 pm and 6:30-8 pm discussion in the Arc* (on the north side of 45th Street across from the parking lot).  Everyone is welcome any time to read and discuss monthly book selections listed below. Our books are chosen by surveying the group. We highly recommend joining our email group. 

* We are currently operating on a month-by-month basis for in person or hybrid meetings. Please email Lucy Petermeier, lpetermeier [at] comcast.net, to get the link information and to join the email group.
