 Ministry
of Mothers Sharing
NEW from MOMS! The Stork Supper Club: Do you like to cook? We
are starting up a new program to provide meals for families who have just
been blessed with a new arrival. The Stork Supper Club will provide up
to 5 dinners for families with a new baby to give moms a break at mealtime.
If you would like to cook or provide a meal for a busy, growing family
... or would like more information about this new program, please call
Lisa Simantirakis at 219-365-0126 or .
Other ongoing & social programs sponsored by MOMS can be viewed in the
online
parish calendar.
Upcoming 8-week 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
