The Ladies' Auxiliary is a service ministry dedicated to supporting the Timothy J. Coyle Kights' Council 9317. The Auxiliary participates in church, family and community activities such as the Lenten fish dinners, the annual Easter Egg Hunt, Breakfast with Santa. We help decorate the church for Christmas and Easter, we assist with the annual priests' dinner and also with parish dinners. We have spiritually enhancing activities such as rosaries and prayer chains. We vote on at least one charity per year to support with our treasure, time and talents. We also have social activities such as movie nights and our annual Ladies' Christmas dinner. Any Catholic woman 18 years or older is welcome to join us. |
