The Women's Guild meets on the second Tuesday of the month, September through May, for fellowship, laughter and personal growth. The guild holds fundraisers each year including the Fall Book, Bake & Raffle sale and the Spring Bake sale. The proceeds benefit organizations and projects within our parish and local community. Other annual events are the Christmas Party, open to all ladies of the parish, the Valentine's Day Luncheon for all seniors of the parish, (follows the 11:00am Healing Mass). Our guild members sponsor a Prayer shawl project by knitting or crocheting shawls, blessed by our pastor and given to parishioners who request them. Other volunteer opportunities include First Friday luncheons after the 11:00am mass, Funeral luncheons and the assembly of holiday cheer bags for our parish shut ins. We invite all women of the parish to join us! Any questions, please contact Stephanie Delaney, President.
