In our on-going series marking Pope Francis’ Year of the Migrant, the Social Justice committee is hosting a series of conversations based on books about those who work to find a better life. The Just Books series takes place during the summer months.
On Wednesday, June 13, we will discuss our first book The Latehomecomer by Kao Kalia Yang. It’s her memoir of leaving Laos as a child, living for a time in a Thai refugee camp, and finally making her way with her family to St. Paul. It is a story of courage and hope, fear, kindness, and deep gratitude. We will meet from 6:30-8:30 PM in the St Joseph room for a lively discussion. Even if you have not read the book, or prefer to listen rather than talk, please come. Call Kathryn Lien at 651-429-8025 to register.
On July 11 we’ll watch the film A Better Place, in the St Joseph room, at 6:30 PM.
On August 8 we will discuss the book The House of Broken Angels by Luis Alberto Urrea.
