📅 Saturday, November 8, 2025
🕘 9:00 AM – 12:00 PM
📍 Parish Center (following Mass in the church)

All moms are invited to a morning of renewal, reflection, and community at our Catholic Moms Gathering. Rooted in the biblical story of Mary and Martha, this half-day retreat offers mothers of all ages and stages—whether raising little ones or guiding adult children—a chance to pause, pray, and find balance between being and doing.

As moms we are in a role that can be driven by worry, anxiety, and unknown, and through this event moms can surrender that to God. The theme, “Mary and Martha: Creating Space for God in Motherhood,” will guide us in moving from constant doing and worrying toward faith, trust, and spiritual connection. Through prayer, teaching, small group discussions, and meditation, moms will be welcomed into a supportive space to connect with God and each other, rediscovering peace, purpose, and grounding in their role as mothers.

Join us Saturday, November 8, 2025, beginning with 9am Mass for those who wish to join, followed by the retreat in the Parish Center until noon. A light breakfast will be served. Childcare for will be offered for ages 4-12, supported by Confirmation students and adult volunteers, so every mom can have the opportunity to fully participate. Cost: $10. Registration has been extended — please register today!

Come be refreshed as we create space for God together in the beautiful calling of motherhood. Please contact Allison Oblen at aoblen@saint-peter.org with any questions.
