Various events planned throughout the year provide the women of our parish opportunities to deepen their faith or socialize with other women in our Parish. We welcome your support, your ideas and your friendship. Pick the events that speak to you, and see what your life can become when you are involved with women in our Parish!  Please check the Parish Bulletin and Facebook for information on the selection of offerings.

• Week 1:  St. Thérèse of Lisieux—the young Carmelite nun whose autobiography sent ripples across Christendom—will teach you to love God through her Little Way.
• Week 2: St. Teresa of Avila—a Carmelite who spent years reforming her order and gave to the world a spiritual masterpiece called The Interior Castle—will instruct you in trusting your personal experience of God.
• Week 3: St. Catherine of Siena—a Third-Order Dominican who poured out her life for people in need but also gave astute, sharp direction to Church leaders—will guide you to live every moment with courage through the love of truth.
• Week 4: St. Hildegard of Bingen—a Benedictine abbess whose spiritual visions led to books, poetry, music, art, and early scientific discovery—will show you how to engage life with passion and creativity.

The Women’s Ministry will be compiling a Parish Cookbook and we need your help!  Please consider helping with one small part of the process.  If we spread the work then no one will be overburdened.   

Needed tasks:

• Creating the bulletin announcements to the parish (1 person; 1 hour/week from home)

• Helping to design the cookbook using templates provided by the cookbook company (2-3 people that will meet periodically throughout the process)

• Coordinate the collection of recipes from parishioners (1-2 people; need to make sure we don’t have all appetizers and no desserts!)

• Help to input recipes online using a computer from home (3-4 people; working from home as needed)

Here are the categories:  Appetizers, Soups, Salads, Entrees, and Desserts

Please volunteer and/or submit your recipes to the parish office (parishoffice@stmarysimsbury.org) or to our Cookbook Committee (cookbook@stmarysimsbury.org).  Recipes can be submitted electronically or printed and dropped off at the Parish Office. Thanks in advance for helping us with this fun parish project.

All questions can be directed to Joanne Russell (joanne.russell@stmarysimsbury.org).
