A yearly plan for spiritual reading
Join Women at the Well in hosting a monthly book club using the book of the month picks listed below.
These books were hand-selected to help you deepen your Catholic Faith and grow spiritually through the year.
If you are looking for a meaningful way to grow in friendship and community consider hosting a monthly book club. Grab a bottle of wine and 3 friends and get together to talk about the book.
Maybe you want to meet after Daily Mass and walk through the book together. Or maybe you want to meet at the local coffee shop, or gather together over lunch at your favorite restaurant.
These books were picked for you to chat about with friends and family members!
To help, we have prepared a discussion guide to use for fruitful conversation. Or for you to use for personal reflection.

Advent can often feel like a countdown to Christmas, a time of frantically getting ready for the holidays. In fact, this liturgical season is all about waiting—not for a short-lived celebration, but for a person.
How we wait shapes who we become. The call of the Christian is to trust every moment matters, and that God is working here and now through periods of waiting.
Waiting well means that we are active participants in this moment, despite the uncertainties ahead. This Advent, waiting can be engaged preparation, a beautiful opportunity to let Jesus into every part of our lives.
This Advent, join Fr. Mike Schmitz as he shows you how to invite Christ into your life so you can share in his lasting peace. Waiting Well is a daily prayer journal designed to help you slow down for 10 or 15 minutes a day during the Advent season. With Fr. Mike’s guidance, you’ll prepare your heart to meet Christ in the manger.
