MISSION
The mission of the GRACE Women's Group is to help foster a deeper connection of all women to God, to the Catholic Church and to each other through the bond of faith.

GRACE stands for Growing Relationships And Catholic Evangelization. The GRACE group strives to provide social and spiritual activities that nurture women in order to provide active and vital membership in our parish.

MONTHLY MEETINGS
Our group meets monthly. We share a light brunch meal, then a reflection of a topic concerning the Catholic faith is presented with the intent to help all members learn something new about our faith. We then break into small group discussions where we discuss the topic so that we may learn about each other, discuss how to apply elements of the faith into our daily lives, and grow in friendship with one another. Meetings are informal and do not require materials or preparation, however, RSVP is necessary prior to attending meetings.
 
ABOUT OUR APOSTOLATE 
We are an apostolate which focuses on fostering a deeper understanding of the Catholic faith in order to evangelize the community at large. We are not a service organization, however our goals are to minister to members through the Spiritual Works of Mercy. We provide orthodox catechesis in order to evangelize as our primary goal and are a lay apostolate according to the teachings of the Catholic Church. However, we do have an outreach ministry which helps minister to members of our group who are in need through providing a meal, comfort, prayers or other assistance. We also offer to pray the rosary at funeral homes for all deceased members and/or deceased family of our members as a source of comfort. We may engage in social activities outside of the Church, but these events are not regularly occurring and are planned according to the group's desires.

GRACE is open, inviting and welcoming to all ladies and is guided by the Holy Spirit in effectively employing all of our various talents to build up the Body of Christ for the benefit of the Catholic Church and to glorify God.
