MOMS (Ministry of Mothers Sharing)
Are there any mothers in need of a relaxing coffee break? Are you a mother looking for spiritual growth? Are you in need of support and some fun? Join the Ministry of Moms Sharing group at Starbucks (Pendleton Pike & Sunnyside) on Thursday, May 1, at 7:00 p.m. We will discuss new and exciting plans and will put together a calendar for the upcoming school year. This is a good way to get involved not only for yourself, but for your family and the parish. For more information contact Stephanie West, 826-0733 or mwest462@sbcglobal.net |

| Here's What Else You Can Expect |
| Experience the support of other women as you discover the depth of your spirituality and rediscover who you are as a person. |
| |
| Why? |
Hear what other MOMS have to say about their MOMS experience:
“MOMS helped me find balance in my life. I can now find that quiet time I need.”
“I loved being able to spend time on myself and rediscover who I am besides Mom!”
“I found out that I am not as crazy as I thought I was. Everybody’s kids do the same things. It is not JUST mine! It is great to have someone understand where I am coming from!”
“MOMS is a great way to meet other moms and bond in our wish to be good Christian mothers and wives. The friendships are great too!”
