BOOK CLUB Our next Book Club will be held October 15, at 6:30-8:00pm. We’ll be reading another excellent Graham Greene novel, “The End of the Affair.” On the surface it’s a romantic novel, but also a spiritual one, essentially about the nature of love, an encounter between love of self, love of another, and love of God. It presents the possibility that human suffering on a very personal level can lead to fait, as well as doubt.
COFFEE HOUR—PLEASE JOIN US! Next Sunday, October 4th we will once again be serving coffee, refreshments and fellowship after the Masses. Please join us!
