Library Programs
Become part of Blessed Sacrament’s Parish Library and its friendly people! Your library provides books, magazines, films, and CDs for the parish community. There’s an emphasis on great literature that specifically addresses Catholic interests. All parishioners are welcome to use the library and to borrow its contents. Also, library staff answer informational questions and can search the internet for you.
Groups are welcome to meet in the library and make use of its resources. The collection amounts to over 6,000 books, tapes, CDs, videos and DVDs. Subjects include fiction, biography, art, scripture, social justice and spirituality, as well as books for very young children. The goal is to reflect your interests and your suggestions for new books and CDs are welcome. If you would like to become a library volunteer, possibilities include: cataloguing and preparing new items for the shelves, helping parishioners find books, planning special events such as speakers and author signings. If you can help or would like more information, please visit the library on the second floor of the Duffy Parish Center.
The Epiphany open house and crèche exhibit will take place on January 2 ( plan to bring your nativity sets) in the library. Monthly dramatic readings and discussion led by Dr. John Dluhy will feature contemporary and classic plays chosen by participants. Outreach programs highlighting books of the season for those in assisted‐living residences will continue, as will DVD screenings during Advent and Lent.
