MOMS (Meeting Other Mothers)

The purpose of the MOM's (Meeting Other Mothers) ministry is to provide a fun and safe environment for mothers of young children to meet other mothers in the parish.  We provide a wonderful opportunity for mothers to share parenting ideas and ask parenting questions.  The ministry also provides a means for the children to interact with other children and develop socialization skills under the supervision of their mothers.  In addition, we provide a great way for mothers and children to meet other members within the parish community in hopes to develop stronger ties within the church.
