The purpose of Our Lady’s Guild is to promote devotion to the Blessed Mother, thus deepening our faith and drawing us closer to her Son.

Our Lady’s Guild has three major functions:

PRAYER

Our spiritual life is enriched through recitation of the rosary after Masses, participation in Eucharistic Adoration, presentations by guest speakers, days of recollection, pilgrimages and spiritual book discussions.  Monthly meetings are designed to nurture friendships and enrich spiritual growth.

OUTREACH

Our faith is put into action when we help others, including those outside the parish.  We support the missions by making and donating rosaries throughout the year.  We help prepare and serve lunch to senior citizens at Lapham Community Center and a baby shower for Birthright.

SERVICE

Members of Our Lady’s Guild are very active in parish life, serving as Eucharistic Ministers, Readers, religious education teachers and coordinators of various parish devotions.  Our Lady’s Guild is responsible for the Living Rosary in October, Mary’s Way of the Cross in lent, the Crowning of the Blessed Mother in May and the perpetual circulation of the Pilgrim Virgin statue.  Every year we have some project that connects us with children in the Religious Education Program to foster awareness and devotion to the Blessed Mother among our youth.  Members are also responsible for all facets of our meetings, including hospitality, speaker coordination, scheduling, reporting, publicity, membership, remembrances, and reservations.
