21st
Century Catholic:
What does it mean to be
a Catholic woman today?
This year we will be
inspired by women, historical and contemporary, whose lives and
work exemplify our Catholic values. We will explore new, everyday
ways to deepen and practice our faith. This wording should go
under the title.

"To show great love for God
and our neighbor, we need not do great things. It is how much love
we put in the doing that makes our offering something beautiful
for God."
- Mother Teresa

We are a group of
over sixty women interested in growing in faith. We gather once
a month to listen to engaging speakers, discuss how the issues affect
us personally, and share in fellowship. Registration is encouraged,
but come on a drop-in basis if that's what works for you. Guests
are always welcome!
