About the Book Club
The Book Club is an eduational and social ministry of the Basilica of Sts. Peter and Paul. We normally meet every week for discussion of a book that pertains to aspects of our Catholic Faith.
As of December 2020, Book Club meetings are currently suspended.
During normal times, we meet Wednesday mornings at 7:45 am to 9: 00 am in Varallo Parish Hall, following the 7 am Mass and Morning Prayer in the church.After being on break for most of 2020, on Wednesday, October 14, we began discussing Anthony Esolen’s translation of Dante’s Inferno.

The edition of the book linked is particularly important for people to purchase as it includes the Catholic writings from Esolen in the appendices.
We discussed the introduction, 1st canto, and appendix on the 1st canto during the October 14 meeting.
On October 21, We will be discussing cantos 5-8 and Esolen’s corresponding notes.Contact Us

Parishioner Katie Bird has organized a new Facebook group called "Basilica of Sts. Peter and Paul (TN) - Buy Nothing Group." Basilica parishioners are encouraged to join and post items or services that they are offering to give away or looking to receive for free. The hope is to provide a convenient channel for practicing charity and solidarity within the Basilica community. Click for a link to the group.Read More -
Our Annual Stewardship Appeal is in progress and we are aiming for 100% participation from all parishioners. (Click to review and submit the appeal on our Stewardship page at any time.) NOTE: We have increased expenses because of the additional third priest to minister to the growing Hispanic community. We are especially worried about the facilities of the parish, including our roof and HVAC, both of which are substantial capital investments. As of yet, only 109 of the 498 households in our parish have made a pledge for the coming year. That's just 22%. Please help us reach 100% participation! Thank you for your generous support to our parish.Read More
