Moms’ Ministry

The Moms’ Ministry is a community of mothers within the parish who support one another in
both their faith and journey through motherhood; through monthly meetings, events involving
their children and husbands, and encouraging each other to live out their faith for both
themselves and their family. The Moms’ Ministry recognizes that every stage of motherhood
comes with different challenges and joys; thus, attempting to keep the activities of the ministry
accessible for moms with children of various ages, moms who work, or stay at home.

Since the beginning of the ministry in 2017, the Moms’ Ministry has participated in many parish
events such as the Family Fun Fest, Easter Egg Hunt, and the Food Pantry distribution. The
ministry has monthly meetings from September-May (taking off the months of December, June,
July, and August). The current meeting format will include fellowship time with provided meal,
monthly speakers on a wide range of topics relevant to motherhood, and group discussion.
Meeting dates: Moms’ Ministry meetings are currently the 3rd Wednesday of the month at 6pm
in the school’s art room but meetings are subject to change. Please see the bulletin or our
Facebook Page to stay up to date.
