With a special devotion to Mary the Mother of God, the mission of the Nativity Council of Catholic Women is to worship and glorify God through celebration of the Eucharist, to support the parish through volunteer service, and promote friendship and unity among parish women and the community through social and educational activities.
Dear Women of Nativity,
The Nativity Council of Catholic Women held its first board meeting of the year on Monday evening, and despite the required masks and social distancing protocols, we were able to talk, laugh, set goals, approve a budget, and make plans for the year. We are open!
We hope you will mark your calendars and join us for these fall events:
· 40-Days for Life Prayer Days – Sept 29, Oct 7, and Oct 22, Planned Parenthood
· Parish Rosary (on the Feast of Our Lady of Fatima) – Oct 13, 6:30 p.m., upper church
· Next NCCW Board Meeting – Oct. 12, 7 p.m., Steiner Hall
· Bloodmobile – Oct 29, 1-7 p.m., playground
· Memorial Mass – Nov. 2, All Souls Day, 4:00 p.m., live-streamed
· Turkey Bingo – event canceled, but look for your chance to win a turkey and a pie in this year’s membership mailing – letter coming soon!
The board set two goals for this special year:
1. Increase awareness of and participation in NCCW activities. Obviously, this is especially challenging this year because most in-person events have been suspended due to COVID-19. But we are determined and excited to find creative ways to remain connected and continue our mission.
2. Get our “internal house in order.” Like many of us are doing in our own homes during COVID-19, we decided to clean the office, review and, if necessary, modify the by-laws, and create “best practices” for events, communications, and marketing.
The membership letter will be coming your way soon with opportunities to serve and stay connected.
You can also find event updates, registration links, and other information on the NCCW website.
In friendship,
