Our purpose is to serve as a ministry for mothers-fostering a community of fellowship, charity, and witnesses of our Catholic faith for our children and for the St. Ignatius Loyola community.
Are you a Catholic mother seeking to grow your faith in a loving community, among other mothers who also want spiritual enrichment and friendship? Join MOM, where mothers in all stages of life are included, welcomed, and empowered in the wonderful vocation of motherhood! Our ministry offers play groups, social and family events, spiritual activities, retreats, meal support and community service.
Playgroup
MOM’s playgroup welcomes all mothers with preschool age children (0-5 years old), and siblings. Mothers can find support and build lifelong friendships while their children make new friends who share a similar faith. Our activities include: arts and crafts, seasonal, spiritual, outdoor, open play and tours. Membership is free and siblings are welcome at all events.
Social and Family Events
Our mom night out activities include: game night, dinner, couples night out and our annual Christmas gathering to name a few. We also host two family events each year that involve the entire family! MOMS At the Well (MATW) is a monthly meeting where members gather to learn, reflect and share through various topics mothers can connect with.
Spiritual Activities
We offer opportunities to grow our faith together through several activities:
Occasional bible studies
Daily mass the first Friday of every month at 9 am.
Familia (when available): a study of the Catechism and other documents focused on Mothers and families.
Annual MOMS retreat: a half day retreat to help members focus and rejuvenate their motherly vocation through guest speakers, discussion, time for reflection and prayer.
Ongoing prayer requests: MOM members are always willing and ready to provide spiritual support in times of need.
Meals for New Moms
Our ministry provides support to members undergoing surgery, those who have a need for a prepared meal, and mothers with newborns, by providing them and their family with a warm meal.
Charitable Endeavors to the Community
We participate in several acts of charity throughout the year. This past year we have collected and delivered donations to our adopted Christmas Angel Family and the Coalition For Life Mobile Crisis Pregnancy Center.
