Catholic Women’s Friendship Group

When do we get together?        10:30 am on the 2nd Tuesday of each Month

Where do we get together?       in the Parish Hall Chard

Not a prayer group or fundraising committee, we are an informal social group focused on enriching Parish life,

We aim to create a supportive group that encourages friendship, through shared activities and discussion.  Our group is a safe, nonjudgmental space for openness, where we use our knowledge and experiences to benefit each other, our parish, and maintain links with our local community.  Our shared faith unites us, and its values remain central to the aims of our group.

Why not come along and join us? You do not have to come every month but will aways find a warm welcome if you do.

What are our current activities

o   Host 3 Saturday Coffee mornings as year to help raise funds for the Parish

o   Support Parish events such as BBQ, Carol Service,

o   Support a local Charity Baby Basic with two appeal a year

o   Host a lent soup Lunch (we select a charity to benefit from funds raised at this event)

o   Host a Christmas Lunch to enjoy each other’s company and the company of other parishioners & friends.

o   Encourage opportunities in the group to develop a greater understanding of our faith.
