Lenten St. Martin's-St. James Book Group
February 11, 2026
Each Lent the Peace & Justice Committee of the Diocese of Chicago selects a book for the whole diocese to study for Lent. St. Martin's and St. James choose to study this book and discuss it together via Zoom.
This year's book is Come Have Breakfast: Meditations on God and the Earth, a text on Eco-justice and Creation Care, by Jesuit theologian and Professor Emerita of Fordham University, Elizabeth A. Johnson.
We will meet on Zoom at 6:00 PM on Thursdays:
February 26 - discussing the introduction through chapter 7
March 12 - discussing chapters 8 through 20
March 26 - discussing chapters 21 through 30
Please email the office to receive the Zoom link to the meetings
The book is available for purchase in paperback, e-book, and audiobook, or available to borrow from the St. James or St. Martin's libraries.
