General Information

The Ladies Council is a group of active parish women who share common goals. We participate in spiritual and social events and provide for the material welfare for the parish community. The Ladies Council plays a role in so many of the parish activities. Some examples are:

· Breakfast with Santa

· Liam A. Baker Memorial Scholarship, awarded in the spring

· Meatloaf dinners for Merton Center

· Penny Harvest – proceeds benefiting local charities

· Two Ladies Council dinners-December and June

· Parish socials-such as wine tasting, game nights, potluck dinners

· Bake Sales – proceeds benefiting local charities

· Raffle baskets at Ladies Council and parish events

We welcome any female parishioner to join the Notre Dame Ladies Council. September starts the year for the Ladies Council, however, women can join year round. We look forward to having you as a member. Please contact us should you have any questions or suggestions.
