WOMEN’S BOOK GROUP

The St. George’s Women’s book group meets monthly in members’ homes on the second Saturday of the month from 3:00 pm-5:00 pm. The group has been meeting since 2008 and is open to all women in the parish. The book discussion, attended typically by 8 to 12 women, is preceded by an hour of food and conversation.

We read a variety of books, including memoirs, fiction, and nonfiction, often on social justice.  Books are proposed throughout the year and are chosen by group vote.

This group has sponsored a Guatemalan child by paying tuition fees at HELPS International School in Santa Avelina since 2012. We were inspired to start this project by one of our readings, Half the Sky.

Since 2013, the book group has also organized a spring weekend retreat to a beautiful retreat center in the Texas Hill Country. The retreat is open to all women of the parish, and we enjoy meals, conversation, spiritual activities, common worship, and board games.
