The Works of Mary


Mission Statement:  A group of mothers seeking to implement Our Holy Mother’s Ten Virtues in our everyday life to serve Our Lord, our families, our community, and the Good Shepherd parish to bear good fruits of Holiness.

Vision Statement:  There is a need in our Good Shepherd community to build up a fellowship of mothers where all are included, welcomed, and empowered in our beautiful vocation of motherhood.

Our Blessed Mother served God directly through motherhood.  She was blessed with many virtues that enabled her to raise our Lord Jesus Christ with the purest love that could ever be given by a parent.

With Our Holy Mother as our Patron, inspiration, example, and guide to help us grow in virtues to become faithful disciples of Christ to raise our children in the Catholic faith leading them to Holiness.
