As with the men, all ladies of the parish are considered members. A lot of the ladies’ work is put into the Spring and Fall Quilt Bingos, as well as running arts and crafts, and cake and home cooking stands at the men’s dinners. All ladies are welcome to join the quilters every Tuesday from 9am-3pm. Sodality meetings are held on the 2nd Thursday from September – May.
MEN’S SODALITY:
The major fundraising functions of this organization are the Chicken Dinner in the spring (second Sunday in March) and the Sausage Dinner in the Fall (fourth Sunday in October). The monies raised by the men at these functions are used for parish improvements as well as to help with the ongoing parish operating expenses. All men of the parish are considered members. Meetings are held on the 2nd Monday, September – May.
