Have you ever
wondered what St. Gall Women’s Society does for St. Gall Church?
We have a Constitution and
By-Laws which govern what we do for St. Gall. We have a board which
consists of President,
Vice President, Secretary, Treasurer, Spiritual Director and Past President.
All ladies who are members of St. Gall Church
are eligible to become members of St. Gall Women’s Society. We have had
questions asking if we are “just a social club”.
We are so much more than that!
We meet
monthly on the second Tuesday of the month at 7:00 PM from September to May.
We are on hiatus and do not meet in June,
July and August. Our meetings consist of a speaker several months and a
business meeting. Some months we may have just a
religious fun time in place of a speaker. We offer Breakfast with Santa
every year for the children and any members of St. Gall who wish
to attend for a pancake breakfast. We also have a yearly fundraiser and last
year we also put together a cookbook which brought
in more money for use toward our responsibilities to St. Gall Church.
St. Gall Women’s Society will be
having a Luncheon and Fashion Show at Genoa Lakes Golf Club as our yearly
fundraiser on
April 14, 2012. It will be an elegant affair with vendors who will be
there for your shopping pleasure before and after the luncheon
and fashion show. We will also be offering Gift Certificates from the
vendors as well as some wonderful grand prizes. Tickets will go on
sale in February, so watch for us in the Gathering Space.
The money we raise from our
fundraisers is used to purchase: Communion wafers, Communion wine, song
books, Missals, candles,
cleaning of priest’s vestments and weekly Altar flowers. We also provide
items as needed such as special purchases when requested
by the Pastor. This past year, we replaced two challises for use by
Extraordinary Ministers and new albs for Altar Servers.
OUR MISSION STATEMENT
The Women's Society offers an opportunity for all women to enrich their
lives spiritually by participation in all
religious experiences; socially
by nurturing old friendships and developing new ones; culturally by
providing a
variety of programs at the regular meetings; through
stewardship by supporting parish programs and
conducting fund raising
activities.
We meet in the Pastoral Center gym the
second Tuesday of each month, September through May, at 7:00 pm.
Annual dues are $10.00, which is payable at our May meeting or the month
you join.
