Who are Mothers & Others?
The "Mom's" group at St. Madeleine's, "Mothers and Others," warmly welcomes fathers, nannies, grandparents and others who nurture young children. The mission of this peer support ministry is to build community by focusing on:

 

Mothers & Others meets about 30 Mondays a year from September to June, from 9:30 to 11:30 a.m. in the Koinonia Room of the church. Quality childcare is available during our meetings allowing our members time for adult conversations and provides a supportive way to separate child from parent. Loving arms hold babies and play with young toddlers in our Nursery. Preschoolers work on craft projects, sing songs, play games and hear stories in a “Preschool-like” setting. Nursing babies or a quiet child may stay in the meeting room. Childcare providers arrive at 9:00 a.m. Please allow yourself time to get your children settled in the childcare rooms.

 

Our group plans “Moms’ Night Out” monthly and provides meals for new mothers and mothers who are ill or in crisis. Mothers & Others is proud of the outreach support we provide to aid local charities with cash, clothing, and equipment donations. We have regularly purchased furnishings and other necessities for the parish and continually work to improve St Madeleine’s childcare facilities.

 

We warmly welcome anyone who nurtures children to take advantage of our diverse program offerings. We look forward to meeting you!

Mothers & Others Schedule General meetings are 9:30 to 11:30 a.m., Mondays, in the Koinonia Room. Quality childcare is available during our meetings.
