Welcome to Women of Mary (WoM)!

  Motto ~ to know, love & serve by Mary's virtues
  
  Following the example of our spiritual mother, this group seeks to bring the women of our parish closer to Jesus. Through service and fellowship, we offer our members the opportunity to better know, love, and serve our Lord. As a large group, we meet once a month, usually in the evenings, with small group meet-ups and service events in between. Join us for our next meeting!

- Book Club
  
  Women of our parish gather monthly for casual group discussions of a book. Most books that we read have a theme or element that can be tied to some aspect of our faith.
  
  For more information about the monthly book club or to be added to their communication list, please contact Emily Cartmill at [email protected].
- Prayer Blanket Ministry
  
  The Women of Mary (WoM) Prayer Blanket Ministry creates lap-size blankets to give to adults and children who are hurting in some way. They’re a sign of the love and prayerful support from our parish. Once a prayer blanket is requested by a parishioner, the blanket is blessed at Mass.
  
  For any questions about volunteering to make prayer blankets or to request a blessed prayer blanket, please call one of the facilitators:
