Book Clubs

There are two book clubs at St. Mark, a Women’s only book group that discusses common literature, and an open book group that studies Patristics and church writings.

St. Mark Women’s Book Club

Meets the last Sunday of each month following Divine Liturgy in the parish library (unless otherwise noted in the Weekly Bulletin).  All women of St. Mark are welcome to participate.  The group has been reading books from a wide range of genres including biographies, fiction, and spiritual reading.  All suggested reading is voluntary and women may choose to participate regularly or only if they are interested in a particular selection.  If you would like to be on the email list, or for more information, please contact Matushka Sasha Safchuk at: asafchuk@hotmail.com.  Below are upcoming readings:
