All parishioners are welcome!
If you want to read the book of the month, please join us!
You can come to every session OR to whichever book is of interest to you.
The more the merrier! 

We love to read and are trying to fill our minds with books and content that builds up our faith. We meet every other month, on Tuesday evenings, from 7-8:30pm. Our book selections for the year are listed below so give them a look and plan to join us! 

"Do not be conformed to this world but be transformed by the renewal of your mind"
~ Romans 12:2

"Finally, brethren, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is gracious, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things."
~~Philippians 4:8

 

Our book for the months of March and April is, "Angels: Our Guardians in Spiritual Battle" by Monsignor J. Brian Bransfield and, for this meeting, we have an exciting opportunity.

The book jacket reads, "Angels are all around us. They are not fairy-tale creatures or New Age sprites but powerful beings created by God to reflect His light. And while we often are not aware of them, the angels are deeply interested in us. In Angels: Our Guardians in Spiritual Battle, moral theologian, author, and speaker Msgr. Brian Bransfield teaches us how to recognize the angels present in our lives.

Drawing on Scripture, the Church Fathers, and the Catechism of the Catholic Church, Msgr. Bransfield shows how the angels -- the good angels who serve God and the evil angels who fell with Lucifer -- influence us in powerful ways. The evil angels are insidious as they seek to lure us into sin and away from God. The good and holy angels help us combat the wiles of he demons and accompany us on our mission of sharing Christ with the world. They serve as God's humble yet powerful messengers and our guardians in the wilderness of this life, strengthening us against temptation. Ultimately, they lead us to the glory of the Resurrection so that we might share the victory of Jesus over sin and death."

SPECIAL MEETING NOTE: For this session only, our book club will meet over at St. Peter's Church on Rte. 82 in West Brandywine to join with their book club. The  author himself, Msgr. Bransfield, will be present to discuss the book with us and answer any of our questions! You don't want to miss this! See you in April!
