LIGHTHOUSE CDS

C heck out the Lighthouse Catholic Media

kiosk at the back of church! Our offerings

include different CDs, books, booklets, and

pamphlets. The purpose of all the materials is

to help Catholics learn and live their faith and to pass it

on!

We have gotten new books (Saints for our Times,

Did Jesus Really Rise From the Dead) and new CDs

(Who Am I to Judge?, Love, Sacrifice, Trust) for Lent

and Easter.

Our K of C Council donated a display of Building

the Domestic Church booklets with 15 different topics

on the family. This display is also at the back of

church.

Another resource available to our parishioners is

FORMED. This is online access to eBooks, talks, and

videos about our Catholic faith. The service has been

paid for so that individuals at SCB can make use of it

for free. Check our SCB website for details.
