Welcome to our Book Discussion Group Page
Catholic Book Discussion Group
Are you looking to deepen your faith, grow in knowledge, and engage with fellow parishioners? Join our Book Discussion Group! We’ll meet twice a month, on the first and third Thursdays of each month at 10:00 AM in the Fellowship Hall to explore a selection of books that challenge, inspire, and enrich our spiritual lives. Each book offers unique insights into faith, literature, and the human condition. Coffee and refreshments provided! Here’s our reading schedule:

November: Saved in Hope (Spe Salvi) by Pope Benedict XVI
In this profound encyclical, Pope Benedict XVI explores the Christian understanding of hope, especially the ultimate hope of eternal life and how this hope shapes our present actions. Reading this encyclical in the month of November, as we reflect on eternal life and pray for our deceased friends and relatives will be especially fitting (and will help us to focus on those “eternal things” rather than get too caught up in the political landscape!).
Meeting Dates:
November 7, 2024: Read paragraph numbers 1-31
November 21, 2024: Read paragraph numbers 32-50
ISBN: 978-1586172510, also available for free online at: https://www.vatican.va/content/benedict-xvi/en/encyclicals/documents/hf_ben-xvi_enc_20071130_spe-salvi.html
