Thirteen ladies met recently to decide what the St. Anthony’s women’s group should be about. We don’t have a catchy name yet, but we decided our meetings will be about faith, fellowship, fun, and being of service to others. All that we do will be based on being strong Catholic Christian women of faith. We will work on projects to help our local and global communities and we will do spiritual activities that focus on our love for God and one another.
We will meet one day a month, both in the daytime and in the evening. Ladies will choose which of the two meetings to attend. Each meeting will include a service project and a spiritual activity. Ladies will choose which of the two to participate in. Eventually, we hope our meetings will be so faith-filled, social, and fun that every lady of St. Anthony’s Parish will want to attend!
Our next meeting is Tuesday October 29. Ladies can attend either meeting: 10:30 a.m. – 12:00 noon or 6:00 – 7:30 p.m. We will meet in the St. Anthony Parish Center. The service project will be learning how to weave sleeping mats out of plastic bags. They will be given to McAnthony Window patrons who want them, for use under a sleeping bag. Ladies are asked to bring plastic grocery bags, rotary cutters, quilting rulers, and cutting mats, if they have them. If not, come anyway. They will be provided.
The spiritual activity will be a discussion of our favorite Christian books, including the Bible, and how they have helped shaped who we are. All women are invited to attend one or both meetings. Women need not be a St. Anthony parishioner or Catholic to attend. We will provide the fellowship and fun. You bring the faith!
