All the ladies of the parish are invited to attend. We would love for you to be part of this rewarding ministry. The Ladies Guild does many activities during the year. Our fundraising activities include Festival Country Store, Christmas Bazaar, Mothers’ Day bake sale & bazaar, and monthly Bunco games. The money made goes back to the Church for special items. For example, the Tabernacle, the Monstrance used to display the Consecrated Host at Adoration and Benediction, albs for Altar Servers and many more. The ladies also sponsor a Respect Life Baby Shower, participate in the Prayer Minis-try, remember our deceased members at special Masses and enjoy a Lenten Evening of Reflection with one of our priests or deacons.

Please consider becoming a member! Joining does not require dues, and everyone is not expected to participate in every activity.
