The September
Book of the Month:

The Last Lecture
by Randy Pausch

Randy Pausch was the inspiring professor from Carnegie Mellon who recently passed away from pancreatic cancer. Shortly after his diagnosis he gave a “last lecture” at the university, and this book is a product of that lecture. It is his incredible story of facing his death, and a legacy for his children and the millions who have been inspired by him to live each moment to the fullest.

Books will be on sale after all Masses September 7-8. Our September Book Discussion will meet Wednesday September 24 at 7:30 pm in the Parlor Lounge.
