Faithful Readers Book Club
Faithful Readers of St. Elizabeth's meet every 6-8 weeks during the school year calendar and read between 6-7 books a year. Books range from novels to biographies and include scripture reading, theology, lives of the saints, great novels with Christian themes and spiritual enrichment. The goal of the Faithful Readers is to read good literature that will enrich our Catholic faith and challenge us to grow as the disciples we are called to be. It is a great way to meet people of the parish and build community. All are welcome!
