The Women's Guild was organized in 1932, as an affiliate of the National Council of Catholic Women. Their purpose was to unite all women of the parish in friendship, Catholic action and service.
Members of the Women’s guild are also involved in the Diocesan Council of Catholic Women and parish activities such as the Parish Council, the Bereaved Committee, Parish Ministry for the sick, Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion, Gift Bearers and Lectors. During our festival, guild members are in charge of the dessert, arts and crafts and religious article booths.
The Women's Guild meets on the third Tuesday of the month at 10:00 AM in the Parish Hall. The group has excellent speakers at the meetings. All women in the parish are invited to attend the meetings and are not obligated to join. -
