Sacred Heart on the Lake Retreat Center
Sacred Heart on the Lake is a retreat center operated by the Apostles of the Sacred Heart of Jesus in the Catholic-Christian tradition.   It is a wonderful place to find God and His peace in the beauty of His creation.  Self-guided and guided day retreats are offered for individuals and small groups under 25 people.

The Women’s Guild is starting the planning process of putting together a Parish Cookbook.  If you are interested in helping with this committee please contact Joanne Russell through the Parish Office.  We will also be looking for our parishioners to share their favorite recipes for the cookbook.  Look for more information in the upcoming weeks.
 
 

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!
 
The pandemic prevented us from offering the many program and events planned for the 2020-2021 Guild Membership. We are looking forward to re-building our membership and offering more events in 2022.  Due to the pandemic, no dues will be collected at this time.

Please check the Parish Bulletin and Facebook for information on the selection of Guild offerings.

The mission of the Women’s Guild with the Blessed Mother Mary as our model is to build fellowship and community among all the women of St. Mary's through spiritual, social and service activities.
