cooperation. The courses are facilitated by trained members of
the Parenting Enrichment Team and some are mental health counselors
from our parish. Courses for parents of Elementary and Teen age
children will be offered in English and Spanish. Class size is
limited to 12-15 participants. Babysitting is available upon request.

This
eight-week course is for any mother (married, single, divorced, widowed, stepmother,
grandmother, etc.) all ages welcome, interested in developing self-esteem, relationship
skills, and deepening her sense of spirituality. Those who attend develop deep
personal friendships and become eager to reach out to our parish family to share
their gifts and strengths in the future. Three women who are trained by the Diocese
of Orlando act as facilitators for the program. We offer an evening and morning
program in the Fall and the Spring. The group is limited to 10 participants each
session. Childcare is available upon request. Cost is $30 for materials, but no
one will be denied due to lack of funds. For
registration or more information contact the Church Office 407-831-1212.

This
is a group of mothers who come together every other Tuesday morning in Annex #
7 from 9:15-11 AM to share friendship and faith, support each other emotionally
and physically, and enrich their personal and family lives through informative
speakers, discussions, and group activities. They also reach out to serve women
in the parish who have recently become mothers or who have lost a child through
miscarriage. For more information

THE
SUPPER CLUB
This
ministry seeks to help families get to know different families
in our parish. It includes singles of all ages as well as Single
Parent families. After signing up for this ministry, a coordinator
will assign a group of families (usually between 4-5) to meet
at the home of a designated family. The next month families will
rotate. Each month the family at whose home the gathering will
be held informs the other families to bring part of the meal.
This is a great way to meet others in our Parish in a new and
exciting way. Sign up to chair this group or to participate. For
registration or more information contact the Church Office 407-831-1212.
