The Unity
Breakfast on October 25, 2008 was
a great success! Jaymie Stuart Wolfe was the keynote speaker and also
provided music. We also previewed the speakers for Gather Us In 2009.

The Commission for Women
sponsors many activities . . .
The Commission for
Women recently sponsored its annual
Secretaries Day,
a day of appreciation for our diocesan parish secretaries.
In September of 2006 we held the
Kickoff Breakfast
for the Gather Us In 2007 Conference.
Representatives from each parish in the diocese were invited to the
breakfast on September 15 at St. Mary's Parish in Shrewsbury. More
extensive information will be shared following the breakfast.

Kick-Off Breakfast on September 15, 2006 for the Gather Us In Conference was
a great success! Come and see for yourself . . .
The
Unity Breakfast
is held in the 'off years' between conferences, also at St. Mary's in
Shrewsbury. Our last breakfast in October of 2008 featured speaker,
singer/songwriter and author Jaymie Stuart Wolfe from St. Maria
Goretti's in Lynnfield. Jaymie spoke on "The Feminine Face of Holiness"
and included several of her own compositions. We hope to book Jaymie for
a workshop at the Gather Us In 2009 Conference
on November 7, 2009. Click here to view videos of the highlights of
the 2008 Unity Breakfast, plus Jaymie's talk in its entirety.
Periodically, women from the
Commission contribute stories to the Worcester Diocesan newspaper,
The Catholic Free Press
regarding women's issues, the Conference, and other stories. Mary
Donovan wrote a fine story on Stewardship which you can see in the May
25, 2007 issue.
