What Does Brave Look Like?

Owen, Auggie, and Faith in the Face of Fear

Cathedral Reads 2020 is in full swing with a pair of bestselling books, a summer full of discussions, and three big events at the end.

Adults will read John Irving’s novel, A Prayer for Owen Meany, and children and youth will read R.J. Palacio’s Wonder. Both are bestselling novels that open questions about identity, courage, kindness, and much more.

Here’s how to get involved:

1. Order your books from the Cathedral Bookstore and start reading!
