Now offering a Online Book Study on Facebook
Join us for an online book study group, Come, Let Us Read. We’ll take a leisurely stroll through an interesting book, combined with casual discussion in a private Facebook group. Our first book is Everyday Evangelism for Catholics: A Practical Guide to Spreading the Faith in a Contemporary World by Cathy Duffy. It can be purchased on Amazon in both paperback and Kindle, and can also be found on several Catholic book sites.
If interested, please let me know! Purchase your book and find us on Facebook. Simply do a search for Come, Let Us Read, or click HERE. We will begin our study on July 18th. This study is offered through Our Lady of Grace Adult Education and hosted by Pat Sell, a parishioner and cradle Catholic who left the Church as a youth and spent 40 years in the Protestant world, coming home to the Catholic faith five years ago. For questions, please contact Pat at: pat.sell@ymail.com
