The Ascension and St. Edmund Book Club meets on the 3rd Tuesday of the month (October 21, 2025) in Murphy Hall of St. Edmund Campus. Dinner is served at 6:00 PM with discussion starting at 6:45 PM.
For people who want to join, we have a contact at the Oak Park Library for book delivery. We believe a library card is needed, but the service that the library offers is outstanding. If anyone is interested in this service, please contact us for information.
If you are interested in joining us or if you need more information, please contact Mari Hans at [email protected].
