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.
