A Novel Idea is celebrating its 30th anniversary in October. Back in 1993, Fr. John Ulrich, O.F.M+ started the Adult Formation groups, and asked Marci Alborghetti, a writer, if she would form a book discussion group. She agreed and “A Novel Idea” was formed to promote fiction, faith, and fellowship. By reading about people in diverse cultures in various situations we develop empathy and understanding and learn about ourselves. When Marci left the Hartford area, she asked Marybeth Walsh and Sara Zagorski to take over the group.
Thank you to all who have participated in our discussions over the years and welcome to any interested people who would like to participate in the future. Drop in any time one of our book choices is of interest to you. Notices are in the bulletin and on the website events calendar.
