The Moms of Teens group at St. Angela Merici came together to support and uplift each other as we parent through the middle school and high school years.  It started as a Facebook Group only and has now grown to include a book club meeting in person.  We are an informal group that prays, laughs, and encourages each other on a semi-regular basis. The dates of our upcoming book club meetings, and the book, are below.  All moms of teens are welcome to join us - in our Facebook Group and in person. 

This book provides practical, do-able ways to live the Corporal and Spiritual Works of Mercy in your family and community. In each chapter, Lara begins with a quote that sets the tone for the chapter, then discusses the kinds of opportunities for experiencing a particular Work of Mercy in our own lives, families, work, church and communities. God is never left out of the equation, as Lara frequently references the graces God gives us to carry out works of mercy in His name, with love. Later in each chapter, you'll find a section titled "Mercy Works: Try It" which lists ideas for applying each Work of Mercy in your family, community, and personal relationship with God. Chapters conclude with reflection questions, and a concluding prayer.
