For the past seven years a group of men and women have met monthly from September to May to talk about a book on some aspect of our Catholic faith. The books have been of modest length and on a broad range of topics. Participants choose the books and one person serves as moderator, often distributing before the meeting a few questions or points to be discussed. There are no dues or other requirements of membership. Our goal is simply one of enlightenment – to help each other better understand the concepts, ideas, people, events, institutions and relationships that make up the Catholic experience.
We come together as humble men and women who share an unshakable faith in Jesus Christ, along with the realization that God has blessed us with inquiring minds and the freedom to travel along a variety of paths in our quest for a better understanding of our responsibilities as important parts of his creation. Please join us on a journey of faith, learning and Christian fellowship.
If you have questions or would like additional information, please contact one of the members of the Coordinating Committee.
