Parish Book Club @ St. Elizabeth Seton Catholic Church, Carlsbad, North San Diego County

Greetings Readers! Reminder our meeting is fast upon us in a couple of days, this Monday, August 13th to discuss Joseph: The Man Who Raised Jesus by Fr. Gary Caster, at 7:00 pm in the one story Conference Center off the lower parking lot.

This is not a book that goes much if at all into how Joseph is depicted in art, pious legend and practice, or daily life at the time of Christ. It’s catechetical.

Next month September 10th is In This House of Brede by Rumer Godden.

We need to pick books for October, November, and January at our meeting. Also, if anyone can check Netflix (or has the DVD!) maybe we could hold a Diary of a Country Priest movie watching party.

Here is some art from http://osjusa.org/st-joseph/art/. This is from the 1960s and is in the Church of St. Lawrence (today’s feast day!) in Florence. Happy Reading, Karla

And in the blink of an eye, time for our discussion of A Map of Life by Frank Sheed. This Monday, the 9th, 7:00 pm, one storey Conference Center off the lower parking lot.

• August 13th: Joseph, The Man Who Raised Jesus by Fr. Gary Caster
• September 10th: In This House of Brede, a novel by Rumer Godden

Last time book club member N. surprised us with prayer cards from her Italy pilgrimage stops in Milan and Lucca. What a lovely reminder of the beauty and continuity of the Church and the reality of the Incarnation! Have a great day building the Kingdom out there and Happy Reading, Karla

St. Ambrose, Pray for Us!

Lord Jesus, help us see You in others!
