We're off to a great start! First meeting recap

We had an impressive turnout for our first meeting! Fr. Marco began the meeting with a beautiful blessing and then everyone played a fun game of get-to-know-you Bingo for an ice breaker.



Each of the committees provided an update on their plans for the Fall. Be sure to visit here for latest info on our events.

  • The two social events through December are the New Members Social on Nov 13 and Breakfast with Santa on Dec 2.
  • MOMS will be volunteering at Minnie's Food Pantry on Sept 20. See the earlier blog post for more info.
  • For children's activities, the committee will no longer host play dates due to low participation, and will instead focus on larger events like the Fall Festival and Trunk or Treat. Contact Anne Stone to sign up to volunteer for these fun events.
Next meeting is October 12 - "Truffles from Heaven" featuring author Kali Schneiders

Serve the community with MOMS Outreach

Throughout the year, the Outreach Committee will provide opportunities to serve our local community. All are welcome to volunteer.

Help re-stock the POP Food Pantry - Bring one food item to first MOMS meeting
The POP Food Pantry is a resource for families in urgent need of food. The past many months the need has been great and the food pantry has been in constant need of replenishment. Please bring one item to the September 14th meeting to help restock the Prince of Peace Catholic Community Food Pantry. They need canned meats like tuna, chicken, roast beef, chili, ravioli, and spagetti and meat sauce. Thank you for your generous donations as the need for food continues to increase in our community.

Volunteer at Minnie's Food Pantry - Thurs, Sept 20
Join us September 20th from 8:30-11:30 to volunteer at Minnie's Food Pantry in Plano. This year the M.O.M.S. group is joining efforts with the POP Catholic School's PVO to serve others. Volunteers will help clients select food, sort food donations, and help with any other immediate needs. Wear comfortable clothes and closed-toe shoes. RSVP to tristagoguen@hotmail.com or robyn_dee@hotmail.com.
