It’s no secret that reading through the liturgical year is one of my favorite ways to live the Catholic faith in our home. Throughout the year, I’m sharing Catholic Book Lists for each month. Today, I’m sharing the October Liturgical Book List.
If you love this book list you will love the printable book lists in Read through the Catholic Year. Print and go book lists for every feast and occasion in the Catholic liturgical year!
