Women's Guild

The Women's Guild meets on the third Tuesday of the month at 10:00 AM in the Parish Hall.

All women in the parish are invited to attend the meetings and are not obligated to join.

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 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.

Under the guidance of the Bishop of Austin, the Diocesan Council of Catholic Women operates as a leadership organization of members from affiliated parishes. The purpose of the council is to offer unity, spiritual guidance and leadership training to all women of the diocese. THe council was formed in 1948, and the Clerical Endowment Fund was the first, and still is the major project. Proceeds from the fund are used for the education of seminarians. Other projects of the DCCW are Marriage Certificates, Water for Life, Adopt a Child, Madonna Plan and the Diocesan missions in Honduras and Mexico.
