Meals on these occasions will be served by the circles of the P.C.C.W. on a rotational basis not as an activity, but solely in the spirit of charity and compassion towards the family of the deceased person of our parish.  Volunteer help is always greatly appreciated!

Non-Registered Funeral Luncheon

The Rosary is recited before mass begins during the months of May and October in honor of the Blessed Virgin Mary, our spiritual mother. It begins 20 minutes before each weekend mass begins.   

A signup sheet is placed on back table in gathering room of church. Please consider signing up and leading the parish members in praying the rosary.

When your circle is planning their yearly fundraiser, you are asked to please donate your time and/or items that may be needed. 

If you are unable to help or to furnish items as needed,

we request that minimum $10 is to be given to your assigned circle chairladies.

* When you reach the age of 65, please notify your circle chairladies and you will no longer be expected to donate help, unless you desire to do so.

Along with the Holy Name Society, the PCCW contributes $500 towards one of two parish scholarships offered to any graduating senior from our parish. Interested students need to apply for the scholarship. Once the application deadline has passed, the Holy Name Society and PCCW review all applications and select the 2 scholarship recipients.  

To honor our graduating seniors, the PCCW holds a reception following mass for the students and their families. We provide food/snacks, drinks, and a small gift for each senior

The PCCW shows their appreciation for all our CCD teachers and volunteers by preparing the meal at the annual appreciation dinner. The religious education program covers the cost of the food. This is a wonderful opportunity for the PCCW to give back at no cost

The Parish Family Picnic is made possible by the entire church working together. The PCCW is involved in the planning and prep work. We also provide volunteers to help at the picnic, make food, donate items, and provide any other support as needed

Prayers Pals is one of the best little things our PCCW does. If you wish to pray for one of your fellow ladies throughout the year and would like someone to pray for you simply sign up at the Christmas party or contact Stacy Wolf. You can remember her with thoughtful notes during the year, a birthday card or any other way you wish. At the Christmas party you will exchange a small gift with your prayer pal and find out who has been praying for you. You can sign-up for a prayer pal at anytime of the year.
