As an organization of parish women, we commit ourselves to growing in faith and affirming our gifts by: Building Relationships and widening our circle of friendships among members of our parish & engaging in ministry & actions to Support the Mission of Most Blessed Sacrament Parish & the work of its core committees.
An exciting year awaits all who choose to join with other parish women to socialize, celebrate our gifts and put the parish mission in motion! Meetings are held on the first Wednesday of every month at *6:30 P.M. in Aquinas Hall on the St. Peter site.
