Lenten Series: Built of Living Stones
As part of our preparations for the renovations of the church interior, we are holding a series of discussions guided by the Built of Living Stones document that the US bishops issued.

We want your participation as we renovate the structure and renew our parish community.
The sessions will be held at church on three Sundays: February 25, March 3 and 10 at both 12:30 PM and 6 PM.

Next Thursday Book Selection: The Screwtape Letters
During Lent, the Brownstone Brooklyn & Beyond book group will discuss C.S. Lewis’ satirical novel The Screwtape Letters. One of his most popular works, it uses a series of letters written by a senior demon to his young nephew to address observations on human nature, temptation, and the Christian faith. We will begin on February 15 with a discussion of the Preface through Chapter 8.
The Brownstone Brooklyn and Beyond book group meets weekly on Thursdays at 7 PM via Zoom. It is comprised of parishioners from various churches in the Brooklyn Heights/Park Slope area. The book club was the subject of a short video that was presented at the 2021 World Communications Day virtual conference. The video includes an interview with Fr. John Gribowich and some familiar shots along Sidney Place.
