1. The women of the St. Francis Xavier Church Hookers share a special bond. How do their personalities compliment each other? What role does their friendship play in overcoming evil? 2. Jane has kept her psychic powers hidden from everyone, including her husband. Why? Would you share your talents if they were considered outside the norm? How does one come to grips with paranormal powers while maintaining a sense of normalcy? 3. Father Rich was abandoned as a child. How does this affect his role as a priest/pastor and his new role as an exorcist? 4. Why is it necessary for Rich to join with the women in order to realize his full potential as an exorcist? 5. Besides the anger Gail felt as her husband's infidelity, what are other reasons she might have been vulnerable to demonic possession? 6. Kay seems an odd member of the rug hooking group, considering her jet-setting lifestyle. Why is Kay drawn to the group? What do they have that she desires? 7. Compare the differences between the exorcism in Rome and the one at the rectory. What are the similarities? What are the differences, and why do they matter? 8. Marilee deliberately disregards her mother's warnings and puts herself at risk. Jane will disregard her inner warnings and put herself at risk as well. How are these two cases parallel? How are they different? 9. There are many reported instances of haunted houses. Do you believe in them? Why are certain places prone to these disturbances while others are not? If you moved into a home that you later felt was haunted, would you stay and try to exorcise the evil, or would you flee? What role would the Church and your faith play in your decision? 10. The Haunted Rectory highlights the subject of evil. Does evil have its origins in the organic mind and social conscience, or is evil an external force?Valentine, Katherine is the author of 'Haunted Rectory The St. Francis Xavier Church Hookers', published 2006 under ISBN 9780385512022 and ISBN 0385512023.
