The Women's Club was established in 1974 to unite the women of St. Joseph's Church for networking and social engagement. At inception, the Altar Society at Our Lady of Lourdes (OLOL) was the only existing women's group. Members joined from neighboring towns, quickly forming a cohesive and cooperative organization. The club supported church activities such as CCD instruction, altar maintenance, floral arrangements sourced from members' gardens, and occasional cleaning of the church.
To fund their initiatives, members organized bake sales and raffled handmade quilts, which led to the inception of the renowned Christmas Bazaar. Proceeds have been used to support both churches and the rectory, including contributions toward the completion of the Parish Center, kitchen outfitting, and purchase of appliances. Over time, members from Our Lady of Lourdes also joined, broadening the club’s reach.
Current responsibilities include coordinating Mercy Meals for families after funerals and assisting with requests from the parish priest. Social events hosted by the club comprise the Mother/Daughter Tea, Potluck Dinners, and the Annual Communion Mass and Brunch. The club benefits from dedicated women from both parishes who contribute meaningfully to parish life. New members are welcome. -
