I enjoy reading and saw that St. Stephen’s was creating a book club in order to stay connected during the Pandemic. It has been so nice reading a book that has been so relatable to our current times, even nicer being able to share about the book with some Parish members that I currently know and some that I have just met. It also involved people outside of the Parish which was nice also. I am looking forward to the next one!
This coming week we will begin diving into our next book club selection, "Barking to the Choir; The Power of Radical Kinship" by Fr. Gregory Boyle. Fr. Boyle began Homeboy Industries, the largest gang reintegration program in the world, in 1988.
Learn more about Homeboy Industries by watching the short video below.
Beginning on Tuesday, June 16 and on Wednesday, June 17, we will begin reading Barking to the Choir.
How the book club works:
- Barking to the Choir will be read and discussed over the next 5 weeks. We will read and discuss two chapters per week.
- Book club members "meet" on zoom to discuss the book. (The Zoom link will be provided).
- Meetings last one hour; each week, choose a session that works for your schedule - Tuesdays from 1:30pm - 2:30pm, Wednesdays 8pm - 9pm, or...let us know what day/time is good for you and we'll add an additional session!

Barking to the Choir: The Power of Radical Kinship is available at

We would love for you to join us!
For this coming week, we will be reading the Introduction and Chapter 1.
