A Beautiful Day of Faith & Fellowship

What a beautiful time of listening, sharing, discernment, and prayerful dreaming together about how we can more intentionally minister to the women of St. Margaret Mary and our wider community. ❤️

A heartfelt thank-you to Gina Boggess, KD Coleman, and Lynn Pendleton for sharing your wisdom, witness, and experience with us—and for making the trip from Princeton to Parkersburg. Your presence was a true gift!

A very special thank-you to Beth McNally for coordinating this gathering and for providing such a wonderful meal.

I truly believe something beautiful is unfolding among the women of our parish. When women come together in faith, share their gifts, and listen to the Holy Spirit, the Church and our community are strengthened in powerful ways.

Thank you to every woman who joined us. My heart is full of gratitude, hope, and joy as we prayerfully look to where the Holy Spirit is leading us next! 🙏❤️

May God bless the women of St. Margaret Mary!
