Women's Guild

Women parishioners of all ages are invited to join the Women’s Guild to get to know one another through a variety of activities.  The Guild can be described by the letter “S”—we promote Spiritual, Service, and Social activities.  There are no meetings, but we do have a number of activities each month.  By paying annual dues of just $5, you will receive a newsletter and calendar of activities. 

Look below to see some of the things we have planned for 2008-09!  Don’t miss any of it!
