Welcome to The Observer's Year of Faith Book Club

We announced our book club in early October, just before the Year of Faith began. In order to let as many people as possible participate, we decided to set up a blog so you can share your thoughts and questions as you read along with us.
We also plan  to host discussion meetings at the Diocesan Administration Center in Rockford, Illinois, during the course of the year, but space will be limited. And, let's face it, it's a long drive for some of the folks in the diocese. With the blog, everyone will able to contribute to our discussions.
Of course, as you would expect of a Catholic site, we ask everyone to be polite and thoughtful in making comments. We also ask you to use "family-friendly" language because we'll be making book choices that we think even our high school students may read, if they like.
Look for our first book choice in an upcoming edition of The Observer and here at our blog site.
We look forward to having you join us as we read our way through the Year of Faith.
