Inspired by Community September 2019

Fall at Saint Louise House means a fresh start to Empowerment Groups

Workshops for Mothers are focusing on the importance of taking care of yourself so you can be a present parent for your children. Moms have been making products such as bath bombs, face masks, and hand creams while also learning relaxation strategies. In StarKids!, Saint Louise House children are participating in a kindness curriculum that incorporates paying attention in special ways. They listened to a gong until they could no longer hear it, which was the signal to take three deep breaths.

More mothers and children than ever before are participating in these groups and you, our community of support, have stepped up to provide meals for them every Thursday night. Thank you!

This Month at Saint Louise House

More Groups! Teens are continuing to build community through activities targeted to them. They shared the highs and lows of going back to school and wrote positive affirmations. A new parenting group has formed to build community among mothers with younger children and provide them with extra parenting support.

Get Involved

Represent Saint Louise House If your passion is sharing the Saint Louise House mission with others, we could use you to help represent us at community resource and outreach fairs. We have a few coming up in October where you could train on the job with staff. There are opportunities both during the week and on weekends. For resource fairs, Spanish-speakers are especially helpful. Contact volunteer@saintlouisehouse.org for more information.

Participate in the Sips and Salsa Soirée Last year we had a fantastic time and raised enough money to support eight families at Saint Louise House for a year. If eating, dancing, and auctions supporting families are your style, join us at the Sips and Salsa Soirée hosted by the Amigas de Saint Louise House at 6 pm on November 2nd at St. Michael's Catholic Academy. Find more information, tickets, and sponsorships here .
