Catholic Charities Book Club Sign Up

We’re starting a book club and first up on our list is Tattoos on the Heart: The Power of Boundless Compassion by Father Gregory Boyle.

Tattoos on the Heart follows Father Greg as he explores the philosophy of radical kinship and mercy while working in Los Angeles amongst the crossfire of a community in crisis. Father Greg is the founder of Homeboy Industries-- a restorative justice job opportunity center that provides formerly incarcerated folks with the career development training, kinship and support to get back on their feet.

Our first book club meeting will be on Wednesday, January 27th at 6:00 PM via Zoom and we will meet every other week on Wednesdays as we move through the book.

All are welcome and we'd love to have you join in on the conversation, even if you can only join for a few meetings or pop in!

Sign up for the book club and to get the Zoom link for the meeting here: https://forms.gle/re1cEXLxZ48XyJ2TA

As we celebrate today, we’re reminded of Roosevelt’s Four Freedoms: freedom of speech, freedom of worship, freedom from want, and freedom from fear. There's still important work to be done to make sure these freedoms are a reality for all Americans. We can do that work #together!

We are so thankful for our volunteers and are always open to more!

#Juneteenth is a holiday commemorating the end of slavery in the US. As many of us celebrate today, we also know that true #freedom requires our continued collective and urgent action to end disparities across criminal justice, employment, housing, health, education, and more.

Thank you, thank you! 🙏🏻

Tiger's-eye gemstone beads, with their warm brown color and golden honey streaks that create an optical phenomenon in which a band of reflected light moves just beneath the surface are lovely when paired with the Our Lady of Lourdes centerpiece medal and a detailed crucifix. This classically handsome rosary makes an ideal gift for a Confirmation/RCIA sponsor, dad, grandfather, godfather, uncle, brother, best man or any man who has been a role model in your life! Whether for yourself or as a gift for a loved one, this heirloom quality sacramental will surely be cherished for decades to come!!
Godparents play a vital role in the life of a child beginning on the day of the child's Baptism. Have you considered a gift of appreciation for special people who accept this important responsibility? A rosary makes a lovely and thoughtful thank you gift to commemorate just such a blessed occasion. We have a wide selection of handmade, heirloom quality, rosaries from which to choose. We are also more than happy to customize a design to be a perfect match for these significant people. Check out our selections today!
