well-developed catechesis of adults is regarded as the central task in the catechetical enterprise.’’

A program designed for busy adults who are interested in reading and learning more about their faith. This group consists of a “group” that never (well almost never) meets. The St. Mary’s Book Exchange Club is designed so that books are passed from one member to the next each month.There are optional discussion sessions in the Winter and Summer to discuss books read. A small fee ($15) is requested to cover the cost of the books. If interested contact Michael.
