M.O.M.S. Group

Moms, are you looking for some adult conversation and a faith-filled morning?
Is your neighborhood quiet with the little ones back in school or settled in day care? Are you missing some adult companionship and conversation? Would you like to share your feelings and views with others who share your faith and convictions? Then, MOMS’ may be the group for you. A group of Moms meet at Holy Name of Jesus Parish (15 St. Martin’s Way, Greece NY) each Tuesday from 9:45AM-11:00AM in the School of Religion Library for community and support. It is a very laid back and joy filled morning with reflection on those issues known especially to Moms of children of all ages. The children attend the sessions and play in an adjoining room while the Moms sit back and discuss issues close to their heart or just pass the time with like minded adults (defined as anyone not wearing a purple dinosaur costume). All are welcome! For more information, please call Marie Marton at 621-6343 x32.
