Women's Groups

Daughters of Isabella - Ave Maria Circle #422 Bangor
Our motto is Unity, Friendship, and Charity. We come together as friends for a common goal: to be charitable to those in our community.  We normally host a few fundraisers each year, of which we have always given a percentage to a family at All Saints School to help with tuition.  We host baby showers for new families in need.  We have given to the Shepherd's Godparents home as well as First Step Pregnancy.  We donate to St Vincent de Paul on a regular basis.  Our most active committee in our circle is visitation of the sick and calling to check on the elderly members.
Our meetings are on the first Wednesday of each month (except December, which we move to a Saturday).  We do not meet in February or August.  We begin with recitation of the Rosary at 5:30 PM, followed by our meeting at 6:00 PM.  Our meetings last for approximately one hour.

St. Paul the Apostle Parish Women's Council
Working closely with the pastor, the Women’s Council hopes to promote a spiritual environment and unite the Catholic Women of St. Paul the Apostle Parish.  As our Blessed Mother Mary reached out to her son in his hour of need, the Council extends its hand, helping those in the parish and community through small fundraising events benefitting groups such as: St. Vincent de Paul Ministry; All Saints Catholic School; Dorothy Day Soup Kitchen; The Good Shepherd Godparent Home; Camp Capella; and more.

All women of St. Paul the Apostle Parish are invited to join the Women’s Council.  Dues are $10.00 annually, paid by September.  Meetings are held at noon on the second Tuesday of each month from September - December and March - May.
