Join the St. Thomas Readers Book Discussion Group
The St. Thomas Readers Book Discussion Group will meet at 6:00 p.m., Thursday, February 24, at the home of Pat McMahon, 4322 Deanery Court, Columbus. The book under discussion is In the Sanctuary of Outcasts by Neil White. This powerful memoir follows White as he experiences a journey that takes him from the top of Gulf Coast society to incarceration at Carville (LA) Federal Prison. His redemptive journey is worth reading and discussion. In the Sanctuary of Outcasts is available in local bookstores, online, and at the public library.

Spotlight On: Parish Life Committee
We congratulate the Parish Life Committee on hosting a successful potluck supper on Sunday, February 13. The event attracted almost 50 attendees, and provided good food, good company, prayer, and togetherness. We thank Lynne Hahn and the Parish Life Committee as a whole for its talents in nurturing our bodies with food and nurturing our hearts with fellowship. We look forward to more events from the Parish Life Committee! | |
