LIBRARY NEWS – Our parish has a growing library located in the office area of the Parish Life Center. Feel free to stop in during office hours and browse and borrow any material.

You can now look up the books we have on the PBOC website. Go to pbocchurch.com, then Parish Campus, then Library—and you can search our library for books either by word, phrase, or general subject. We have over 100 different subject matters and over 800 books to choose from.

We also have many FREE pamphlet, prayer books, and older Magnificat booklets for you take home.

If you have any questions regarding the Parish Library, contact Mimi Nawrath at 235-1013.

Like Nathan in today’s first reading, we sin when we begin to feel entitled and act as if what we have is ours by right, when we forget that everythng we have is an unmerited gift from God. But God is gracious and forgiving – even when we use His gifts wrongly or squander them thoughtlessly – if, like Nathan, we confess our guilt and ask His pardon.

The Meals on Wheels program brings meals to the homebound, elderly, sick, and disabled in our community. Many of our volunteers are unable to continue. They have served the community and the program excellently. We now need new replacement volunteers. Deacon Phil in his “Reflections” article asks the question: “Have we been of service as shepherds to one another?” This program allows us to answer this question with an experience of true charity. We also meet a lot of very wonderful people. Please volunteer! Call Pat Burg at 237-3178.
