SQUIRETTES OF MARY
Our Lady of Grace CircletteSponsored by St. Ignatius Loyola Knights of Columbus Council 10861, the Our Lady of Grace Squirette Circlette is open to Catholic girls ages 10 to 18. The Squirettes conduct their own activities independently but also have joint activities with the John T. Sansano Columbian Squires Circle 4703.
The Squirettes at St. Ignatius held their charter investiture in November 2008 with 40 members and is the only Circlette west of the Mississippi River. We are told that ours is the largest charter investiture on record!
The Squirette Program was founded by Father Michael Keane, Father Prior of the Immaculate Conception Circle of Columbian Squires in Colton, California. Father Keane felt that there should be some comparable group for Catholic girls. Through his efforts, the first Squirette of Mary Circlette was formed. The organization has a very active program planned by the members under the guidance of their Counselors. At the present time, Circlettes are operating in the United States, Canada and Japan.
During our first year,we clocked aproximately 480 service hours. We assisted with parish events such as pancake breakfasts and Fall Festival. We raised money by making and selling brownie mixes. We cooked our very own Lenten Dinner. We sponsored a seminarian. We made care packages for US soldiers. We participated in the living rosary and the May crowning. And that is just a sample of the things we did that allowed us to spend time together in fellowship and fun!
If you are interested in joining the Squirettes, simply come to any of our general meetings. One of our counselors will provide you with the necessary paperwork and assist you in becoming a Squirette.
