"...if you are like the rest of us, every day presents a mountain of to-do items, jobs to go to, errands to run, projects to complete, meals to cook, children to raise... You forge ahead and get it done, but you know that things aren't as they should be. Even when you check every item off your daily list, you still feel as though something meaningful and essential is missing from the very center of your life.
NEW! Book Study 2021-22By Becky Eldredge
Busy Lives & Restless Souls
Join us for 2nd Tuesday Evenings 7:15pm-8:30pm beginning September 2021 as we share and pray our way through this book!
Available to preview and purchase* through Loyola Press and a few other retailers.
*If you’d like assistance in getting this book, please email the team
Spiritual director and writer Becky Eldredge has felt that same longing, and she knows what people are missing—a relationship with God through prayer. In Busy Lives & Restless Souls, Eldredge interprets principles of Ignatian spirituality in a fresh way to equip us with prayer tools that are accessible and practical within the relentless realities of our daily routines."
REGISTRATION IS FREE and OPEN ALL YEAR LONG
Please click to fill out our Google Registration Form so we can keep you informed of all the events and find out how to best meet your needs as a Catholic mother. Please note this is more of a declaration of intent, and not a 100% commitment. You can attend any gathering when you can, and as often as you are able!
GATHERINGS EVERY SECOND TUESDAY from 7:15pm-8:30pm – ALL YEAR LONG
Catholic Mothers need a special kind of tribe! We meet monthly (usually in room 3) to visit, discuss our book, and lift our intentions in prayer together.
OPEN TO MOMMAS AT EVERY STAGE OF MOTHERHOOD
It is so valuable to bear witness to each other in faith, no matter the phase you are in. Mothering is a lifelong vocation, and we need each other to support and pray us through it all!
EXTRA MEET-UPS to foster COMMUNITY and PRAYER
We are being intentional about planning meet-ups where our families can come together just to casually socialize, or to join in prayer. Please fill out our registration form so we can include you in the fun!
JOIN OUR PRIVATE FACEBOOK GROUP
