A NEW YEAR OF CHESTERTON!

There was a cozy gathering of Chestertonians last night at the rectory. There was a fire in the fireplace and refreshments provided by Mr. A. It was a larger group than expected because there were a number of cancellations. Somebody had a daughter get married the same weekend as a meeting (again) and somebody's sister came in from out of town for one night the same night as a meeting (again) and somebody else said they had an emergency but we know it was because he did not read the first book. (If it was serious I hope all is Okay.)

Welcome to our newest member even though his name is not Matt, John, or Mike. I suppose we can start to branch out a little bit.

The next meeting will be January 29th at the rectory. We will be discussing the second "book" of our book. If you need a copy please see the previous post.

Merry (almost) Christmas!

December meeting UPDATE

There was no date that everyone could agree on as good for our December meeting (herding even this few Chestertonians is like herding cats), but the least worst date seems to be December 18. Therefore, we will meet December 18 at 7:00 PM in the rectory. We'll start The Napoleon of Notting Hill. I haven't seen it even, but I imagine we can get through chapter 1 before then. The text is available on Project Guttenberg in multiple formats here, or you can purchase it through Amazon (yes, I realize the irony of directing a bunch of budding Distributists to that website).
