Bishop Bullock’s Book Club

Join Bishop Bullock as we read through some of his favorite books. Whether you’re a bookworm or just starting your reading adventure, all are welcome! Join a group at your parish or read all by yourself!

Each month, the bishop will share a written introduction to the book and an online audio podcast reading guide with insights from a variety of guests!

Books can be purchased at the Mustard Seed or your favorite bookstore.

Podcasts can be listened to on SOUNDCLOUD or APPLE PODCASTS
