Parish Library & Media Center

Spend some time in our Parish Library & Media Center, a multimedia resource center with state of the art audio-visual equipment — a flat screen television with cable, a Blue-Ray Disc/DVD player, an audio sound system that plays CDs and has an iPod docking station. It also has free wireless access, so bring a laptop and follow a train of thought or deepen your research through online sources. 

Books
Browse through over 200 titles from authors that include Pope Francis, Pope Benedict XVI, Pope John Paul II, and well-known Catholic spiritual writers, including Scott Hahn, Raniero Cantalamessa and Benedict Groeschel. You can also browse through our collection of major Church documents. The majority of our collection may be checked out for your private study and we also have a collection of reference works on the Bible and the Liturgy of the Church for your use while you are here in the library.
 
Audio Courses
You have your choice of more than 100 Courses on CDs to borrow and listen to in the car or at home. Or if you’d like to get away from your usual routine, you can listen to the courses here or start a study group. Each of the sets comes with a study guide for personal or group use. 
 
DVD Courses, Movies, Documentaries
You can borrow movies, too. We have two bookcases full of DVDs and Blue-Ray discs that include Catholic teaching on a variety of subjects, stories of the saints, documentaries, as well as secular movies with religious themes and some secular movies that are just for fun.
