Parish Library

The SMG Parish Library, established to assist in the parish’s mission to help all parishioners grow in faith and love, strives to make available materials to fulfill this mission. Located adjacent to the Church Gathering Space, the library is open for your browsing pleasure.

We currently have journals, books, CDs, DVDs, audiotapes, and videos covering a wide range of topics, such as Saints and Religious Figures, Prayer and Spirituality, Children and Young Adults, and more!

For those interested, the library is accepting donations - please review the library donation policy. Thank you!

How to Check Out an Item

After choosing your items, please locate the check-out card in the pocket holder of each item. Since our library is small and in a publicly accessible area, electronic check-out isn’t feasible at this time.

2. Drop the completed check-out card into the "Check Out Box" located on the back shelf of the Parish Library.
