(4) LADIES BOOK STUDY: Interested in joining a Lenten book study? Interested in working toward a deeper understanding and relationship with God? Interested in spending time with your fellow female parishioners? If you answered “Yes!” to any of these questions, please contact Vicki Jones or Tracy Namee and let us know. We would like to study the book “Introduction to God” by Father Stephen Andrew Damick. This is an easy-to-read book that can help all of us draw closer to God. Once we know who is interested, we can decide on when we will meet. We hope that many will want to join us in studying this book during our Lenten journey.
