Women’s Ministry

Walking with Purpose is a Catholic Bible study for women that aims to bring women to a deeper personal relationship with Christ. Through personal study and small group discussions, the group helps to link our everyday challenges with solutions given to us through the teachings of Christ and the Catholic Church.

Beholding His Glory
As we look at Old Testament people and events, we’ll encounter problems that only Christ will solve, needs that only He will satisfy, and promises that only He can deliver.

Gospel Reflection is a Bible study focusing on the upcoming Sunday’s Gospel reading. All are welcome to join Thursday morning to read the upcoming Sunday Gospel together in a casual environment.

No need to sign up or commit. The Gospel is new each week, so you can drop in any time. Come when you can, come as you are, and do not worry when you cannot. There is no preparation necessary. Just bring yourself and grab a tea or coffee and listen to and reflect upon this Sunday’s Gospel.

For more information contact, Cathy Szczerba at 810-656-7752.

The “reflection” portion of our meetings is guided by, The Better Part, A Christ-Centered Resource for Personal Prayer, by Fr. John Bartunek.

This is a wonderful ministry to support new moms and families by providing meals in the first few weeks after bringing your baby home. Our team sets up a schedule for meals, usually 3 weeks of Tuesdays and Thursdays. Our volunteers sign up for a day that suits their schedule and will bring your meal in a disposable container (no need to wash and return dishes).

To participate, expectant families can contact either Elizabeth or Vicky during pregnancy so we can set up the meal schedule. Anyone wanting to help provide meals for our new moms can also contact us to volunteer. We look forward to hearing from you!

We are so excited to once again offer Advent by Candlelight, an evening for women with prayer, song, food, and fun. This special time is a wonderful way to prepare our hearts and homes to celebrate the coming of Jesus.

This year, Advent by Candlelight will be held on Thursday, December 1 beginning in the church at 6:30pm (church doors will open at 6pm). This is for women who are at least 21 years old.

All women of the parish attending the event are also invited to hostess a table. Hostesses set their tables in the Fr. Bush Parish Center, provide finger foods for their guests, and visit for more than an hour after the service in the church.

To reserve and hostess a table of eight, please register here. Anyone who would like to come but cannot hostess a table may call the parish office, and we will find a table placement for you.
