Many years ago, the idea of Heart of Mary Women's Fellowship parish ministry came about in the most simple way. First it started with great minds coming together to chat about what this group for Catholic Women would look like. We knew for sure the name would be based on the Mother of God, and that was the simple part, because she is our greatest female role model in every way. We quickly decided we would meet every 1st Saturday for two hours, we would have coffee and sweet bread and maybe a bowl of fruit. Our purpose was fellowship, support, faith sharing and prayer, while growing in faith together through the messages of our gifted speakers. We met our goal at the very 1st gathering, 100 women showed up to do just that. Our minds were blown, this was a Catholic phenomenon, that is what everyone was saying anyway.
The ministry and its incredible simplicity moved it forward and every month was an absolute joy to plan and experience, this was the easiest, most impactful ministry I have ever been involved in. Why were we so successful people would ask? I believe without a doubt, naming the ministry Heart of Mary is the first step to its longlasting success.
To Jesus through Mary
