St. Patrick Ladies Guild (established January 1998)OUR MISSION STATEMENT:
The Ladies Guild strives to provide opportunities for the women of our parish to become true followers of Jesus Christ. We do this through fellowship with others, through service to our parish community and through the nurturing of our individual spiritual growth.
ALL WOMEN OF THE PARISH ARE WELCOME TO JOIN!
MEMBERSHIP: The Ladies Guild is open to all women of our parish. There is no membership fee to be a part of the Ladies Guild. However, there is an expectation that you would be an active member – even without a fee.
LEADERSHIP: Our leadership positions are shared on a monthly rotation, with the exception of the position of treasurer which is a year-long, renewable position. For each month, we have:
= a meeting coordinator (or chair) who runs the meeting
= a recorder who takes the minutes
= a Muffin Sunday coordinator who leads the set-up & clean-up for Muffin Sunday
Other opportunities for leadership would be in coordinating all or part of a specific Ladies Guild project or activity (e.g. Bake Sale, Ladies Tea)
