The purpose of the Catholic Motherhood Ministry is to encourage mothers of all ages in our vocation of Motherhood while strengthening our knowledge and love of our Catholic faith. We welcome all mothers to our group, regardless of age or number of children.
Under normal circumstances, we meet at the church to discuss various Catholic topics (Saints, prayers, devotions, etc.) while our children are cared for in the nursery, located next to the church.
Fellowship - Currently, the Catholic Motherhood ministry meets on the third Sunday of the month from 6-8pm for fellowship at a restaurant.
Prayer Chain - We share prayer requests for each other and our family and friends via our email group.
Meal Train - We support mothers after childbirth by announcing the birth to the members and offering a meal sign-up.
Donations - We are always looking for ways to share the blessings we have received by passing on household items to others in our community who need them. At times we organize a donation table at the church for drop-off/pick-up.
All mothers who are parishioners, visitors, or friends are welcome to join the Catholic Motherhood Ministry.
