The Open Door Book Group is a welcoming community for those interested in exploring spiritual growth through thoughtful reading and discussion. By joining, you’ll stay informed about upcoming Spirituality Forums at St. Francis and the books we’ll be reading together. You’ll also receive contact information for any questions or further engagement. All are welcome! Step through the open door and join the conversation!

The objectives of the Open Door Ministry are as follows:

• To help start and support new Book and Scripture Studies.
• To provide a means by which participants in the Open Door Group in Realm can get a list of the details on existing studies and be informed, by email of any new studies, in which they can participate. (Click here for Book Studies)
