Holy Spirit Women’s Council
The Holy Spirit Women’s Council’s mission is developed from the National Council of Catholic Women, which “acts through its members to support, empower and educate all Catholic women in spirituality, leadership and service.”
We are an informal group which includes all women of the parish who are 18 years and older.
We stay very busy having fun, praying, working, and serving together.
- We pay no dues and have no monthly meetings
- Our goal is to grow spiritually
- Make friends
- And serve our Parish and community
Please enjoy the photos taken at the HSWC Christmas Party on December 10. We had a relatively small but delightful group of women who brought baby gifts for A Woman’s Choice. The gift table was laden with wonderful selections for new mom’s and their babies.
There were also delicious dishes from appetizers, entrees, and desserts from which to choose, and everyone enjoyed their meals and their table companions. Every table was decorated with centerpieces of poinsettias topped with little fairy lights that made the room magical, and this year we remembered to have fun, traditional Christmas music to add to the ambience of the evening. Thanks to all of you who attended, brought gifts and food to share. Your friendships and generosity are a wonderful example of Christmas joy and New Year blessings.
