Vatican II Resources
As our small study group has studied the rich resources of Vatican II, and learned about the impact of this Council on the whole church, we’ve put together a list of some of the study tools we’ve found most useful. We recommend the following, and would love to hear about other resources that you’ve found useful. We will also list events here that we plan, to help people learn more about Vatican II.
