Young Ladies Institute

Ministry Purpose & Description

Established in 1966, the mission of this ministry is to help others through charitable projects promoting the work of the church while working hand in hand with other Catholic women. We promote involvement in church related projects, attend quarterly and annual Masses and are affiliated with the National Council of Catholic Women. Each year the incoming president selects a program of charitable programs that we support throughout the year, however the main focus of our fundraising efforts is to support the Seminarians of our diocese. Some of the programs we have supported in the past include support for the Special Olympics, Local Hospices, the Arthritis Society, Guide Dogs for the Blind, San Jose Family Shelter, Leukemia Society and Service Animal Organizations to name but a few. We also provide scholarships to eligible members wishing to pursue their education.

Meeting Frequency and Meeting Place

3rd Thursday of the month in the Parish Activity Center. We pray the Rosary at 6:30pm and the meeting starts at 7:00pm.

Annual events include the St. Patrick’s Day Corned Beef and Cabbage Dinner in March, a Spring Tea and Fashion Show in the spring, and assistance with Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Meals to those in need in our community.
