St Catherine of Siena

WOMEN’S CLUB Meeting

Wednesday, December 16th @ 7:00 PM - Russell Hall

Join us for an introduction to Ignatian forms of prayer and a guided meditation experience led by Judy Pluta. Our spiritual program will be followed by a “Regift” Teacup Auction. If you choose to, and in the spirit of making the holidays easier (and recycling!), please bring an unwrapped gift you’ve received
in the past but never used to the church and leave it in the basket below the Women’s Club table in the atrium by Monday, December 14th. Don’t have any unwanted gifts on hand? Don’t worry - you don’t need to donate a gift to get a “regift!) There is no charge for this event. All women of the parish are welcome.
We will gather for refreshments and a business meeting at 7PM and our program will begin at 7:30PM. Hope you can join us!

SAVE THE DATE - FRIDAY, JANUARY 8TH!!

We invite you to join us for our Adult Christmas Party in Russell Hall on Friday, January 8th. More
