Book Club

Members of the OLPH Book Club constantly search to deepen their understanding of the Catholic faith. Members read and discuss books on theology, history, spirituality, Biblical studies, Vatican documents, peace studies, Catholic Action, and the Rapture. The club is interested in books that give insight into the way God works in the human heart.

Generally, the group meets on the first Monday of each month in the Youth Office from 7:00 - 8:00 pm. There is no fixed membership, and all are welcome, even those who have not read the book.
