The Commission for Women sponsors many activities . . .

October 25, 2008 Unity Breakfast
The Unity Breakfast is held in the 'off years' between conferences, 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. Jaymie will be presenting a workshop at the Gather Us In 2009 Conference on November 7, 2009.

Appearances in the Media
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 entitled "Obama's Message is a Challenge" which can be found on our blog in the February 2009 archive. She also wrote a fine article on Stewardship which you can see in the May 25, 2007 issue of the Catholic Free Press.

Susan Bailey and Marie Fusaro Davis appeared on May 1, 2009 on CatholicTV's live program, "This Is The Day" to promote the Gather Us In 2009 Conference. You can watch it here, at the bottom of the page. They will be appearing again in September - stay tuned for details.

Several times a month we feature articles and reflections in our blog - be sure and check it out.
