Mothers & Others
Mothers and Others is a peer support group for parents and caregivers of all ages. While many are young moms, mothers of all ages, dads and grandparents are more than welcome to join us! Mothers and Others is a very active ministry, sponsoring many parish activities and fundraisers for the church. M & O meets every Thursday in the Willenborg Center at 09:30 AM during the school year. Daycare is provided in the nursery beginning at 9:15 am. Childcare is provided during the regular meetings for children under 5 or pre-k. During the summer months, a special calendar of events is prepared including many gatherings at local parks or places of interest.
While socialization is a major aspect of the group, as the building of fellowship and community is key to the Christian life, so too are the building of the Spiritual Life and the life of Service. It is around these three 'pillars' that Mothers and Others works to foster the growth of the whole person, and to help our community.
Our schedule of events reflects this mission fo Spirituality, Service, and Socialization:
- Annual Parish Golf Tournament
- Assisting at local food banks
- Promoting parenting classes and sponsoring seminars
- Welcome Back and End of Year Brunches
- Family Summer Events
- End of Summer Mother's Retreat
- And many other events!
