The Christian Women of Divine Mercy Parish invite all women to join them. Meetings are held the 3rd Sunday of the month, following 9:30 a.m. Mass, See the schedule below. All Are Welcome!
Thank you, parishioners, for all your support of our Christian Women December bake sale and Packer quilt raffle. The winner of the beautiful quilt was Rob Page!
Your generosity enables us to continue our mission of financial support to our parish, school, Christian Formation and charitable contributions to So Milwaukee and surrounding community endeavors.
We appreciate you!
At our most recent meeting, we heard from Rita Sweet, 89 years young, and her son, Tom, who make mats for the homeless. Our Christian Women group has enlisted the parish to collect plastic bags to help with their endeavor. This ministry started at St. Matthew's Parish in Oak Creek. Rita and her son, Tom Sweet, heard about this ministry and Tom thought it was something his mother could do, so, they both looked into it. Tom's role is to cut the bags and Rita puts the plarn (plastic yarn) together and then makes the mats. After completion, they take them to St. Matthew's for the finishing touches. The mats are then given to shelters who serve the homeless throughout the City of Milwaukee.
