St. Ignatius Reading & Discussion Group
Meetings
Second Tuesday of the month from 7-8:30 PM
- Virtual/Zoom
Seeking Book Recommendations
This ministry seeks to promote the reading and thoughtful discussion of a varied selection of books so as to expand our knowledge and stimulate reflection. We hope to increase our vision and see through the eyes of others via thoughtful, well prepared, civil discussions of selected books.
Meetings open with a prayer/reflection in tune with the book under discussion or with timely, felt needs within the greater community be it parish, diocese, nation or world. All are welcome to participate (note, some works are suitable for the school aged).
The Group is seeking proposals by end of March for six open slots: July, ’24 – Jan., ’25. Would you care to suggest a book for reading/discussion, to join us or be put on our email list – please contact us.
For a book to be considered for reading, the submitter (or provided alternate) should be willing to facilitate the discussion of the proposed work. Polling of voting members will take place in early April to determine which will be Group readings.
