Events

Spiritual
 We offer three spirituality days each year: Retreat Days away or at the Parish, Spiritual Reading facilitated by Sr. Fran Lomeo on alternate Tuesday mornings after the 9 a.m. Mass, and an annual Lenten Afternoon of Reflection following the February or March General Meeting, presented by a Sister of Mercy or a Sister of the Good Shepherd. Members are invited to pray the Rosary together in the Chapel a half hour before the start of every monthly General Meeting. Every meeting opens with a prayer.

Charitable
 To support our charitable donations, we hold an annual Clothing and Linen Sale! Thanks to our co-chairs, volunteers, and donors of nearly-new (sometimes new) or gently-used clothing, shoes, accessories and jewelry, our successful sales enable us to make charitable donations to various organizations.

Educational
 Our monthly meetings are meant to educate and sometimes entertain, and to always provide opportunities for members to gather and socialize. In the past, speakers have made presentations on the following general topics: faith-related; social issues, e.g., human trafficking, prison ministry; service-oriented; physical or mental health; gardening; the environment; cooking demonstrations on and off site. We are always open to suggestions for activities and general meeting programs.

Social
Daytime bus trips that inspire, educate or entertain are held each year. Trips have included House and Garden Tours of famous homes; Scriptural Musicals at the Sight and Sound Theatre in Lancaster PA; The Culinary Institute of NY; The Philadelphia Flower Show; Museum Exhibitions; Grounds for Sculpture in NJ; NY Botanical Gardens; Broadway Shows; Radio City Christmas Shows; Tour of Harlem, NY, and many more. Sometimes the trips include lunch. Other times groups of attendees make their own plans for lunch together. The cost of the trips includes the ticket price and cost of the bus. The trips are very popular and tickets go quickly.
