Dear Women of Guild,

With Easter one week away and the beginning of Holy Week, the Guild invites you to experience the stations of the cross as seen through the eyes of our Blessed Mother Mary. This beautiful and powerful interpretation of the stations will be led by Suzy Hick on Tuesday, April 4th at 1pm. Please meet in the back of church and ALL are welcome.

Later in the month, please join us for our annual Spring Luncheon on Wednesday, April 19th with guest speaker Julie Unruh. Julie is a wife, mother of three, former WGN midday news anchor, Emmy award winning general assignment reporter and FHC parishioner. She will share her journey of surviving a career in Chicago TV news with the help of plastic pearls and a pen! Scroll down to learn more and register today.

And don't forget to Save the Date for the Spring Prayer Walk at the Chicago Botanic Garden on May 30th. Pam Coster will once again provide a peaceful hour of spiritual contemplation through prayer and readings. A wonderful gift to yourself!

Finally, the Guild is looking for women who are looking for something to do! Whether it's a leadership role, sharing your artistic talents or just wanting to help behind the scenes, the board would like to find a spot for you. Please scroll down to learn how you can get involved with the Guild!

Peace!
