Ministry of Moms Sharing (MOMS): Many women long for motherhood and yet, when it arrives, find the task overwhelming and sometimes empty of value and worth. In Grace Within: A Personal Journal, the ancient Catholic spiritual practice of finding the sacred in the ordinary answers the longing mothers have to know that these daily tasks matter and that they matter in a divine way.In the eight-week exploration of the topics in this book, many women have discovered that beneath the veils of the mundane lies a vast gold mine of purpose and value. The vocation of motherhood draws us closer to Christ’s call to love and the culmination of our Baptismal calling. Mothers of all stages in their mothering are invited to join the 34rd group. Orientation is June 4, 2018.

St. Catherine's has hosted 33 groups of MOMS. Groups meet on Monday evenings in the summer for the initial 8 weeks. Women in every stage of their career actualization, full-time, part-time and stay-at-home, find common ground in the topics explored in MOMS. After the 8 week study, many women can and do continue to meet in various formats and frequently remain good friends. Childcare is available. Infants are welcome at the meetings.
"Other women would gain from participating in MOMS because it would help them to hold their heads high when explaining to others what a mysterious and grace-filled career path they lead. I feel so blessed to say I now know over twenty women whom I can call to talk about anything at all, no matter how deep or silly, and they will listen with open ears and hearts -- I wish all mothers could know this blessing."
"MOM's has been an extraordinary spiritual experience for me. I have not only met a wonderful group of mothers, but I have also been able to relate similar feelings, thoughts and concerns about motherhood with women who are also new Moms. I cannot express how thankful I am to be part of such a fantastic group. " Recent Moms Participants
