Book Club
Nativity BVM’s Book Club gathers bi-monthly to discuss a relevant book on the Catholic faith. The discussions are lively and enlightening in a faith-filled and supportive environment. Our meetings are facilitated by the Pastor, Father Bell, who is an avid reader. Members leave the discussions enriched by each others insights. Book club selections are publicized in the bulletin and books are available for purchase at the Rectory. For more information, contact the Rectory Office at 610-566-0185.
