Welcome to all women whether you are married or single, empty nesters, or maybe just now finding your way in this path of life. We want to celebrate your accomplishments and grow with you as you take on your personal challenges. Draw close to this support group and we will celebrate together. We look to Our Blessed Mother for strength, consolation, and guidance as she brings us closer to Jesus and our Catholic faith, covering us with her mantle of goodness and kindness. She personifies all we hope to model for ourselves.
“She is clothed with strength and dignity; she can laugh at the days to come.” ~ Proverbs 31:25
The Proverbs 31 woman is a woman of wisdom. With God as her guiding source, she has clarity on the decisions she makes, how she lives her life, and the words she chooses. She carefully cultivates a Godly life on the eternal truth of God, and not the temporary and fleeting distractions of this world.
