Dear Women of the Guild,

Welcome back! This year has had us all traveling down a path full of twists and turns, surprises and setbacks. Even the best laid plans provide no guarantee of delivery to our "destination". The words Covid-19, Delta Variant and Pandemic have managed to seep into our everyday vernacular, hijacking our "life compass" and creating a road block without a detour sign! Where to next?

The Guild's board has worked hard over the summer to provide a little something for everyone, with the hope that all women of the parish will find their way to these wonderful events and activities. However, due to this ever changing virus, there may be some "recalculating" along the way, in which case we ask for your patience and flexibility.

Please read on for further details and learn how you can register for upcoming events and support this wonderful organization. With a strong community of faith-filled women, we'll move forward together.

Warm Regards,
Maureen Kolada & Terri Weaver
Co-Presidents, The FHC Women's Guild
