WooCommerce store for Australia's first Catholic school book club
The Saint Francis Book Club is Australia’s first book club created specifically for Catholic primary schools and their families. Operated by Veritatis Publishing, the platform connects schools and parents with high-quality children’s books that encourage imagination, learning, faith and Christian values while returning a percentage of every purchase back to participating schools.
