Catholic Moms Group​

​

There for you, in the trenches of

Catholic motherhood.​

​​

Every mom needs her tribe.  Join a fun and friendly group of Catholic women, supporting each other in the day-to-day trenches of Catholic motherhood. 

 

Our Vision:

To cultivate growth & community for Catholic moms.

​​

Some of our events:

-- Weekly Wednesday morning Pray & Play

-- Monthly Catholic book club on the fourth Monday evening of the month

-- Evening social and crafting get togethers

-- Seasonal service events supporting women and children

-- First Friday Family Friendly Adoration and Confession at St. Mark's (4-5p)

-- Annual CMG Family Picnic for the whole family on a weekend

 

Pray & Play is the event that started CMG and remains the anchor that brings women together each week. Here's what to expect if you join us for P&P:

​

Because we know that it's hard to pay attention and fully engage at Mass when someone is tugging on your sleeve, we pray each week for about half an hour with the upcoming Sunday's readings (so we can try to hear them at least once!)  We use a process called "Lectio Divina" and women are welcome to share what stands out to them -- you don't need to be a Bible expert to join in either!  For the rest of the time, we attempt [somewhat] uninterrupted adult conversations while the kids play.  Moms are welcome with or without their kids -- as this is first a place for moms to grow together! This happens every Wednesday from 9:30-11:30a at rotating homes, playgrounds, and at the Lakewood parishes.

​

We use a members-only spreadsheet (to protect privacy), email listserve to communicate, and GroupMe chat to connect in between in-person meetups, making it easy to come to as many or as few meetups as you'd like -- totally up to you!  You also can stay for the whole time or just drop in, as it suits you.

​

Membership is free but does require filling out a roster form to keep your info up to date AND attending at least ONE in-person event each year to make sure we're fostering authentic, in real life relationships.

​

Open to any and all Catholic moms -- not just St. James parishioners -- wherever you are in your Catholic faith! Most events will take place in Lakewood or the surrounding cities.
