St. Thomas Aquinas Book Drive
We are hosting a duel book drive to support Read Charlotte, Promising Pages and the Forsyth Prison Ministry
Children’s Books
We are accepting new or gently used baby board books and books that are aged to 5th grade readers. We ask that you carefully inspect your books and make any necessary repairs. We also ask that books are cleaned out (prayer cards, bookmarks, etc.) and wiped down.
Adult Books
All of our adult aged reading material will be donated to the Forsyth Prison. There are a few items that are restricted:
**** No hardback covered books*****
*****No subscribed materials that are aged (magazines, prayer book subscriptions such as Magnificat)*****
Both non-fiction and fiction are welcome! Books in foreign languages are also welcomed. There are many inmates that speak Spanish and French.
The prison ministry is also collecting funds to purchase multiple copies of “A Father Who Keeps His Promises” by Scott Hahn. You may consider purchasing a copy and donating it to the drive, or making a donation to the prison ministry program at Forsyth Prison. Here is a link to purchase directly through the publisher.
Please place your donations in the appropriate bin in the Narthex, keeping the adult and children’s books separate. Collections will run through February 7. If you are homebound, call the parish office to arrange a pick up.
COVID-19 has greatly affected the way we can reach out to the community, so we appreciate this small gesture of letting our brothers and sisters know we care. Thank you for your contribution!
