Take Advantage of the Sharing Library in the narthex. There are a few books to get started on the top shelf. If you like a book, take it home. Share your time reading it with your family and/or share your inspiration with others. Then if you have a book at home, bring it and add it to the library for others to enjoy. There is no cost, no checkout process, just take a book and be inspired and blessed.
Contact Tye Davis if you are interested in reserving St. Finbarr social hall.
