SJB Oasis is a borrowing library of books and videos and items for purchase. It is located in a classroom off the Narthex of the Church. Oasis is open before and after all the weekend Masses. We all need good, sound, spiritual information and knowledge. The Oasis is a place of refreshment and renewal.

Stop by this weekend!
