 Ministry
of Mothers Sharing
Empowering women from the inside out for the transformation of society.
This is what Ministry of Mothers Sharing is all about, awakening women of all ages and life experiences to claim their sacred vocation through a spiritual process grounded in Baptism and shaped by Benedictine values. We invite you to experience this spiritual process of finding and saying 'yes' to your true self.
Events
MOMS Annual 8-week Spirituality & Reflection Session
For most women, involvement with MOMS starts with an 8-week program for
mothers of all ages. Each week focuses on a different topic, designed
to aid in personal, relational, and spiritual development. It is also
a great way to meet other mothers, share concerns, and seek or offer support. The participation fee is $30 per person. Childcare is provided at no additional cost. Print
