The Catholic Home, Episode 3: Women Get Social – The Confraternity of Christian Mothers, St. Patrick’s Day Parties and St. Joseph Altars

Are you pining away for regular interaction with other women? Eagerly awaiting conversation with your husband when he gets home from work, only to find out he “gave at the office”? Tune in and discover that you are not only not alone, there are wonderful Catholic things you can do to remedy the situation.

In this episode, host Wendy Haught is joined by two guests from Mount St. Michael’s parish in Spokane, Washington, Lorrie Ochoa and Tiffany Longo. These charming ladies explain all about the Confraternity of Christian Mothers, the helps it gives to its members and how to start one in your own parish.

Then, Lorrie and Tiffany share how they came to host annual events for St. Patrick and St. Joseph and how those events grew and changed, honoring the saints while helping to build a Catholic culture and create opportunities for developing more Catholic friendships.

Bubbling with enthusiasm, encouragement, and womanly wisdom, this episode of The Catholic Home is sure to brighten your day and generate many ideas for Catholic socialization with other women.

Show Notes:

Douay-Rheims Bible
Titus 2:1-5
[1] But speak thou the things that become sound doctrine: [2] That the aged men be sober, chaste, prudent, sound in faith, in love, in patience. [3] The aged women, in like manner, in holy attire, not false accusers, not given to much wine, teaching well: [4] That they may teach the young women to be wise, to love their husbands, to love their children, [5] To be discreet, chaste, sober, having a care of the house, gentle, obedient to their husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed.
