Welcome to the Catholic Women’s Association of our Parish! Our vibrant and dedicated group is committed to fostering spiritual growth, community service, and fellowship among women of all ages. Through a wide array of activities and initiatives, we strive to support our church, uplift our community, and deepen our faith.

Our association organizes regular prayer meetings where women can come together to seek spiritual nourishment and share their faith journeys. These gatherings are a cornerstone of our mission, providing a space for reflection, prayer, and spiritual renewal.

In addition to our spiritual endeavors, we are deeply involved in charitable works that make a tangible difference in the lives of those around us. Our members are passionate about living out their faith through acts of service.

Our social gatherings are equally important, offering a chance for women to build lasting friendships and enjoy a sense of community. Whether it’s a casual coffee morning, a themed dinner, or a family picnic, these events foster a welcoming environment where everyone feels valued and included.

By joining the Catholic Women’s Association, you will find a supportive network of women who share your commitment to faith and service. Together, we can grow spiritually, contribute to meaningful causes, and create lasting bonds. We invite you to join us on this journey, enriching our parish and community through your unique gifts and talents.
