Reading Plan

Featured Post Image - Reading Plan

This reading gives you the text we will read each day. On average, it is a little over 400 words, but to not break things up awkwardly it varies quite a bit.

In the introduction for each document, Fr. Matthew P. Schneider, LC SThD will interview an expert in the field. Each other day, Fr. Matthew will read and briefly comment on the document.

I would recommend the PDF version which prints on 12 normal 8.5″ x 11″ pages.

However, here is the complete plan in a webpage table. This is as best as I could get it to work (which still does not look as nice).
