St. Anselm Society
About: The St. Anselm Society is a book club that reads books written years ago by famous or forgotten Catholic authors that are still relevant today. We will read classic literature such as the works of Owen Francis Dudley, G.K. Chesterton, St. Thomas Aquinas, Thomas à Kempis, and others, and then meet monthly to discuss how and why these works remain meaningful to Catholics today. No expertise is necessary—we’ll figure things out together in a non-intimidating environment!
Meetings: First Tuesday of the month at 6:00 p.m. in the library
