The St. Irene’s Women’s Club was established in 1946 to give the parish women an opportunity to meet socially and to work on projects that helps the church, both financially and socially, and provides for people in need in the local area.
A number of activities are planned for the coming year. These activities include a combination of religious, fundraising, and social activities.
Religious activities include an outdoor rosary in honor of Mary’s birthday. It will take place in the Mary Grotto at St. Irene’s in October. Another rosary in the grotto is planned for Mary’s month, May. Two Soup and Bread Suppers are planned before the Stations of the Cross for Lent.
Fundraising activities include making apple pies for Thanksgiving and boxwood trees for Christmas. Proceeds from these events will go to local food pantries and area families in need during the holiday season.
Fun activities include a pot luck supper in September, a craft night in October, a Christmas Party and Yankee Swap in December, a pizza and bingo night in January. An end of the year banquet for members is planned for May.
A fun activity for the Concord Carlisle Collaborative parishioners, an Italian Dinner, is also part of our program in April. Proceeds from the dinner will also go to local causes.
Please consider joining the Women’s Club. All women in the Holy Family/St. Irene’s Collaborative are welcome. For more information, please contact us via email – womenclub@cc-catholic.org.
