Parish CD Library

Many people are thirsting for more knowledge about our faith, searching for answers to questions life, especially in this time of pandemic, and are seeking a deeper relationship with Jesus.

We are very fortunate to have received a donation of a CD Library Collection of over 120 CD’s whose topics deal with a range of subjects about our faith, the Bible, catholic teachings, personal growth and much more. There are also some CDs specifically for children in the collection. The CD’s are full of rich information and are delivered by some well-known and authoritative Catholics scholars, speakers and writers.

Each CD is generally no longer than an hour long to listen to – so for example it makes for easy listening on your commute to/from work, or it can make a nice subject for an interesting afternoon tea with a friend.

THANK YOU

We thank Jean Chadwick for donating this collection to the church whose words are most compelling:

“I must say I tend to get carried away when it comes to being Catholic!

My prayer is that, in some way, our fellow parishioners get to experience, understand and love the truth, beauty and goodness which is found, in it’s fullness, within the gift of our Catholic Faith, by exploring the Faith with an open mind and a heart ready to receive.

As a cradle Catholic myself, I had no idea of the real treasures within the Church, all centered around the Blessed Eucharist, until I started questioning and delving into the big questions of life, both inside and outside of the Church. What an absolute bonus it was to discover that the answers are to be found in the full deposit of faith within the Catholic Church! And what wonderful teachers we have, throughout the ages, with such wisdom, needed more now than ever before, I would argue, given the current culture of death.”

WHERE?

You will find the CD library in the foyer leading from the church to the hall. It is in the last two drawers of the white cupboards on your left. There is poster on the notice board.
