Mom’s Group
We in the Mom’s Group encourage all mothers to join us as we seek to further develop our knowledge of our Catholic faith – and better understand Church teachings and traditions as they pertain to mothers and their families. Currently we are studying a book by Kimberly Hahn entitled Graced and Gifted. This book is a series of Bible Studies based on Proverbs 31, and it offers mothers tools to help them create a home that will be a place of beauty and peace where the needs of loved ones are met. Applying sacred Scripture, Church teaching, and pastoral wisdom, Kimberly Hahn helps mothers to explore: time management, the art of homemaking, how to make meals a time of communion, cultivating a garden, and the importance of housework. Please join us at 9:30am on Fridays, March 13, April 10, and May 15th in the basement of the old church. (We will meet during the summer months at various members’ houses). Babysitting is provided.
For more information, please call Suzie Murphy at 582-7064.

The Period of Purification and Enlightenment begins after the Rite of Election. The intention of this period is to intensify their desire for the Sacraments by helping them to purify their minds and hearts as well as enlightening them with a deeper knowledge of Christ. Others in this formation process are those adult baptized Catholics preparing for First Holy Communion and Confirmation.Ranee Coronado
Charlette Gilbert
Valerie Valdez
Adults preparing for the Sacrament of Confirmation in this process are:
Sanjuanita Candanoza

Please pray for these and all who are in a Sacramental preparation process. Thank you.
