You can benefit inmates in regional prisons by donating paperbacks (not hardcovers) at St. Catherine of Siena Church at 4 Riverside Ave., in the Riverside section of Greenwich.

The books will be accepted in the parking lot opposite the rectory entrance from 9 a.m. to 12 noon on Tuesday, April 20 (rain date: April 27).

Members of the Order of Malta will collect, sort and distribute the donated books. And your bookshelves will have room for more!

Join the Social Justice Ministry of the Parish of St. Catherine of Siena and St. Agnes as we collect softcover books to be donated to prisoners in regional prisons.

Bring your books: all genres, fiction, self-help, mysteries, non-fiction, biographies…

No hard cover. No textbooks. No children’s books.

“We have been called to heal wounds, to unite what has fallen apart, and to bring home those who have lost their way.” – St. Francis of Assisi
