Our parish library offers an extensive collection of books and movies for Catholic Christians of every age, encouraging spiritual growth, awareness of God’s presence and knowledge of the Catholic Church, its teachings and doctrines. Books and movies are available for children.
The library is not open for browsing in the Atrium under the Mezzanine after the Sunday morning Masses due to lack of volunteers. However, you can browse the catalogue on-line and use the pick-up/drop-off service.
This group meets Wednesday morning after the 9 a.m. mass and is open to any parent of young children who would like some fellowship with other parents. We are a group of moms who like to get together for a bit of social time, fellowship and conversation. We hope to have regular get-togethers and host special events for families..
