Our Resource Library houses an extensive collection of spiritual books, DVDs, CDs, and other printed and multimedia materials that serve as recreational, educational, and faith-nourishing "food" for our parishioners, as well as curriculum enrichment resources for faith educators and leaders. Many of these materials are not available at local town libraries. There is something for everyone: adults, youth, children -- people of all ages!
The library is located on the ground level of our Parish Center (if you enter the building from the rear parking lot, go downstairs and the library will be in the first room to the right). Feel free to stop by and browse through our extensive collection of materials!
Important! Our Resource Library serves at times as a meeting space for parish ministry gatherings. Before heading to the library to search for or borrow materials, please be sure to check our parish calendar, to make sure no meetings are scheduled during the time you plan to be there.

Our books are cataloged according to the Dewey Decimal Classification (DDC), a system that categorizes nonfiction books into ten main divisions. These divisions or subject areas are further divided into ten sub- divisions. Click HERE for a detailed listing of Dewey Decimal System subject Categories. Each book is assigned a Dewey number based on its subject matter. In most libraries the Dewey number is followed by the first three letters of the author's last name; this code becomes the book's call number.
As you walk through our library you will see that the shelves are clearly labeled by category, with nonfiction books arranged numerically on the shelves, according to DDC, ranging from 001 to 999.
