We have begun reading "Mere Christianity" by C.S. Lewis, but you can still join us! The book club meets every 2nd and 4th Thursday of the month, so we will be meeting this coming Thursday to discuss Chapters 2 & 3. Please join us!

In the classic "Mere Christianity", C.S. Lewis—the most important writer of the 20th century—explores the common ground upon which all of those of Christian faith stand together. "Mere Christianity" provides an unequaled opportunity for believers and nonbelievers alike to hear this powerful apologetic for the Christian faith. Why not join us in our study of this important book?

The Catholic Book Club will resume meeting on September 8, at 7:00 PM in the OLS Church Library. We will be reading and discussing Mere Christianity, by C S Lewis. Click here for more information on our schedule as well as contact information.

After an online vote, the Catholic Book Club decided to postpone reading its new book. Living the Mass, by Fr. Dominic Grassi and Joe Paprocki. An essential component of the book club is the personal discussion of the chapters as we proceed through the book, and it was felt that this is much better in person than over e-mail. When the crisis is over and restrictions on meetings are lifted, we will publish a new schedule for this book.

We are determined to keep the group going through this period of crisis. Therefore, we will continue to read the current book, according to the schedule you'll find by clicking on the article title. You'll also find out how we will communicate our thoughts, questions, and ideas concerning the book as we continue.
