Who We Are
We are a small group of mothers who have young or adult children with special health care needs.
What We Do
God has given mothers of children with special needs a wonderful gift. As we try to navigate caring for our gifts, we offer each other a listening ear, prayer, support, and help along the way.
When We Meet
We meet at 7 p.m. on the first Tuesday of the month in the St. Joseph Room at the Parish Center. Upcoming dates include April 1 and May 6.
