Community of Mothers

The name of our group has changed from Mothers With Young Children (MWYC) to reflect our mission:

To form a community of mothers, with children of all ages, who meet to create enriching discussions in the areas of parenting, personal growth, relationships and faith formation.

Complimentary childcare is offered in the nursery during meeting times.

Current members are hosting a brunch to welcome new mothers on February 3rd from 9:45-11:15am in the Parish Hall. Please mark your calendar and learn about plans for the Winter and Spring meetings.

The Mass by

Tom Curran

Book Discussion: This book by Dr. Tom Curran examines the Mass not merely as a ritual, but as an event, a point of contact where Jesus Christ approaches us to change our life. It accompanies you from the time you pull into the parking lot for Mass, until you walk out the doors after the final blessing, using examples and stories from everyday life
