💜 National Catholic Daughter Sunday 💜

We are grateful to have had the opportunity to celebrate the STM Catholic Daughters of the Americas this past Sunday and recognize the wonderful impact these women make through their faith, service, and sisterhood. Their commitment to serving others and living out their Catholic faith is a true blessing to our parish community. 💐

💕 Women of STM Parish, there’s a place for you! 💕

If you’re looking for a meaningful way to grow in faith, build lasting friendships, and make a difference through service, we invite you to learn more about the Catholic Daughters of the Americas. There’s something special about women coming together in faith and fellowship to serve God and others.

📧 Interested in joining? Contact Shari Ashe at [email protected] for more information.

Let’s celebrate these wonderful women and the spirit of faith and service they share with our parish!

Faith grows through conversation. 🌱

Alpha is a place to ask questions, share stories, and explore faith together in a welcoming, no-pressure environment. Over a meal, a short video, and honest conversation, we discover more about faith and our relationship with Christ.

Everyone is welcome, wherever they are on their faith journey. And sometimes, all it takes is a simple invitation to help someone take a step closer to Christ.

📅 Wednesday, October 21 ⏰ 6:30 PM 📍 Activity Center

Come join the conversation. Bring a friend!
