Spiritual Reading

Books found in a Catholic Library
This is by NO means a complete list of Catholic Readings. There is plenty more, but it is a start. Another GREAT SOURCE are the writings of the teaching body of the Church: the Magisterium. The Daughters of St. Paul have many of these encyclicals to help us grow in knowledge and faith. Don’t be bashful - indulge!!!
