Join the Society as we discuss The Secret of Father Brown, the fourth of Chesterton's collections of stories featuring the priest-sleuth. We will read all the stories, but the collection isn't too long. You can purchase a copy of the Father Brown stories from the Chesterton Society, but it appears to be on backorder. Alternatively, you can find a copy wherever books are sold, purchase an Audible audiobook version, or else read the book online from Project Gutenberg Australia.
Kindly RSVP for the meeting below!

Join the Society as we relaunch, newly branded as the Philadelphia Chesterton Society, and begin our regular in-person meetings again after a long hiatus owing to, er, That Which Must Not Be Named. This will be primarily a social meeting and an opportunity to catch up with one another, but we will discuss the annual Chesterton Conference and some other activities of the worldwide Chesterton movement.
Kindly RSVP for the meeting below.
After a terrible 18 months or so, during which our Society was only able to meet intermittently, and often only digitally at that, we are pleased to announce that we are coming back! We will resume our regular in-person meetings in August. AND, you may notice, we're sporting a new brand! We'll continue to serve the whole Southeast PA region, and anyone from Jersey or Delaware, or really anywhere—but we've decided to embrace what everyone calls us anyway, and officially become the Philly Chesterton Society! We can't wait to get together again and see everyone...
In the meantime, we're encouraging our members to get their Chesterton fix by participating in the offerings of the Society for Gilbert Keith Chesterton, especially their upcoming Conference! You can download the brochure here, and even register for the conference below. (Note: Our society members can get a special discount using a code that was sent to the email list. If you'd like to get the discount code, sign up today!)
Join the Society for our first meeting in a long while, on November 15th, at Ivy Hall, beginning at 7:00 PM, to discuss Chesterton's unique inter-weaved series of short novellas, Four Faultless Felons (1930).
You can purchase a copy of this book in paperback from the Society of Gilbert Keith Chesterton. Alternatively, the book is available from Amazon in Kindle e-book, paperback, and hardcover formats; and free online via Project Gutenberg, as well. Join the Society for our May 2020 (Virtual) Meeting, when we will discuss the final ten chapters of Chesterton's book, Heretics, the prequel (as it were) to Orthodoxy. See below for information on how to join this virtual meeting. All are welcome - which means even folks outside our geographical area are invited to "attend" and join the discussion!
