Women's Group
An Update from the Women's Group Board
May, 2020
We hope this update finds you safe at home, healthy, and adjusting to life in the world of COVID-19. It is with great disappointment that we had to cancel the Women’s Group events planned for April and May. The Lenten program, Spring Luncheon and End of Year Mass & Celebration are events we look forward to sharing with our membership and friends. We are saddened that we are unable to come together for these wonderful social and spiritual activities.
We are grateful though for the wonderful events that did occur from September 2019 through February 2020 and for those opportunities to socialize, raise funds for our charities and join in prayer. We are pleased to announce that even with our Spring Luncheon canceled, we have been able to provide $7,500 in financial support and countless in-kind donations from Women’s Group members to support these organizations this year:
Aid for Women
Catholic Charities – Lake County
Most Blessed Trinity Academy
Northern Illinois Food Bank (Holy Family Food Pantry)
PADS Lake County
Roberti Community House
St. Patrick Church
Looking ahead to 2020 - 2021...
With so much uncertainty, and currently absent guidelines from the Archdiocese, we have decided to hold off on planning events for the 2020-21 year. Please know we will do our best to plan for the year to come once we have a better understanding of the “social norms” in late summer and beyond.
If you are interested in getting involved once we begin planning, please consider sharing your time and talents and joining the Women’s Group Board. For more information, please email your interest to st.patrickwg@gmail.com and a Board member will contact you.
