Book Club
The Saint Thomas Book of the Month Club meets every second Tuesday of each month at 11:00 A.M. to noon in the Adult Formation building, on the first floor. Book selections range from classics to modern day drama, fiction, non fiction and biography. The selections are made by the members. Our discussions are spirited and enlightening. The only requirement we have is that everyone in attendance reads the book. Enrollment is open and on going.
If you love to read we would enjoy having you join our club.
Anyone interested please e-mail Barbara Nalbone
