Book Club
-
St. Andrew’s Book Club meets once a month on Tuesday morning from 10:30 am – 12 noon in the Padre Pio Room. Books focus on the lives or writings of the saints. Lively discussion, refreshments, and insight into those who already wear the crown of sainthood, help to inspire us to fulfill our calling! All are welcome to attend.
Contact Patty Laing plaing@st-andrew.org or 703-817-1773 for more information or to arrange to purchase a copy of next month’s book. Cost $10/book. -
